Everyone goes to marina or jbr for waterfront shots but dubai creek harbor at sunrise is completely empty and has incredible light. New development means clean modern architecture against the creek. Best spot near address hotels building around 6:30am. You get creek reflecting morning light and city skyline in background. Golden hour light hits water beautifully. About 20-30 minute taxi from downtown, or Dubai Creek Harbor has its own transport connections. Worth bringing tripod if you have one
