Corniche and Eastern Harbor What They See: The curving Corniche sweeps along the coastline, packed with vibrant life. Crowds gather at cafés, children play on the beaches, and small markets line the sidewalks. Moment: A musician’s song drifts up from the street, mingling with the distant call of seagulls. A sudden appearance of dolphins near the harbor delights those both in the air and on the water.
