Dusk arrives over Dubai Creek and the city's lights begin to pulse — the skyline's glass towers cooling into silhouette while the creek's wooden abras rock gently against the quay. On this private day-to-night tour you move from engineered shores to narrow, wind-tunnel lanes: the palm-shaped curve of Palm Jumeirah from the monorail; the chill-lit chambers of Atlantis' aquarium; a seaside glimpse of Burj Al Arab; and a slow, human-paced abra crossing into Al Fahidi's low-rise, wind-towered alleys.
