The day opens with a cool gust of air from an idling private vehicle as Sheikh Zayed Road unfurls toward the skyline — a collage of glass, sand and sea. You’ll pass the wheel of Ain Dubai, the palm-lined promenades of JBR and the gleam of Burj Al Arab as the city shifts through scenes: beachfront bustle, modern islands and the intimate lanes of old Dubai.
