Dinner aboard a lateen-rigged dhow on Tudor Creek, city lights behind. Confirm sailing nights when booking.

The mainland suburb north of the causeway holds most of the city's bars, clubs and hotel terraces.

Grilled meat skewers and cassava crisps come out after dark around Old Town and Mama Ngina Drive.

A refurbished clifftop promenade where locals gather at dusk for food stalls, sea breeze and the ships coming in.
