When to go to Dubai?
Two cities, really. There is the Burj Khalifa and the mall at its foot, where the fountains perform against the tallest tower in the world, and there is old Dubai over the creek, reached by wooden abra. Bastakiya keeps its wind towers and courtyard houses, the gold and spice souks keep their haggling, and offshore Palm Jumeirah curls into the Gulf with Atlantis at its tip.
