About
Every morning I stop at the same abra crossing on the Creek, watching the city wake up the way it has for decades before the towers ever appeared. I know which souks still run on handshake deals, which neighborhoods fill with the smell of oud after Friday prayers, and where families actually eat — not where they take visitors. Dubai's rhythms are in my bones, and sharing that living, breathing version of the city is what I'm here for.
