You step out of the private van as the evening heat loosens its grip and Downtown Dubai glitters like an engineered constellation. The Burj Khalifa rises, glass facets catching the last sun; the city breathes, traffic and tide in counterpoint. Later, lights of Dubai Marina unfold across the water as the boat slips into the channel—steel towers leaning over a ribbon of dark sea.
