More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun slants across Sheikh Zayed Road as your driver eases the air‑conditioned car through a corridor of glass towers and cranes — Dubai unfurls, pragmatic and theatrical at once. The day can start with early morning light over the Creek, thread through the Bastakiya quarter’s wind towers, and end with dunes glowing copper at sunset; the one constant is the steady presence of a local driver who knows which routes dodge traffic and which views are worth lingering over.

Conservation
