Morning light slides across Sheikh Zayed Road and the city hums awake: glass towers, highways, and the slow ribbon of Dubai Creek where dhows still glide. A private guide settles in beside you; the van steers past Burj Al Arab’s sail for a quick photo, then arcs toward the crescent of Palm Jumeirah where Atlantis stands like a modern citadel.
