The city arrives before you like a composed argument: glass and steel slicing a blue sky, the Arabian Gulf flashing beyond the palms. A private car collects you from your hotel and the driver steers through boulevards where modernity presses up against older trading quarters. You pause for framed views of Palm Jumeirah, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab and the engraved façade of the Museum of the Future—each a brief chapter on a tight three‑hour script.
