Set along the Dubai Creek, a short walk away from a ferry terminal, this home’s floor to ceiling windows act like a camera shutter, allowing you to capture snapshots of the water views from where you are inside the home. Move out onto the balcony for an even closer look, and if the mood strikes, get up before sunrise to watch the sun reflect off the water and buildings as it eventually rises. If you happen to have a strong Arabic coffee in hand at the time, all the better. You can tackle the job of making breakfast for everyone, or petition for a meal downstairs at the restaurants on site where they have American and Asain options available every morning. After, you might opt for a relaxing day at the resort pool or if need be, taking some business calls and settling emails at the desk back in the home, but don’t forget to get a spot of shopping in. Drive eighteen minutes to get to Mamzar Beach, and if you’ve still not had enough water by then, you might want to book a cruise – there’s a terminal twenty-two minutes away.
