You step out of an air-conditioned vehicle onto a broad promenade where the Persian Gulf tugs at the skyline—slim towers catching light while traffic hums inland. A local guide opens a gate into the city’s layers: mosque courtyards, market alleys thick with spices, and a green ribbon of parkland that feels unusual in a desert capital.
