The dhow slips away from the timbered pier at Al Seef as evening spreads over the creek; lanterns along the promenade pick out weathered facades while the city’s neon begins to pulse. Guests step onto Al Wasl 2 to the aroma of Arabic coffee and dates, then drift under the looped arches of Infinity Bridge toward Deira’s lit skyline.
