Arriving at Dubai International, the city announces itself through glass and motion: jets taxying, air-conditioned concourses, and the distant scrape of cranes shaping the skyline. A private transfer hands that first hour back to the traveler — a driver waiting at the arrivals gate, a clean vehicle at the curb, and a straight drive toward the city centre past palms and polished towers.
