Product Description
This guide, now in its fourth year, has been revamped, revised, has a new design, and includes much more information. Dubai is one of the fastest growing business and travel destinations in Arabia and is constantly changing, with lots more cafes, restaurants, bars, social clubs, sporting opportunities, shopping malls and shawarma stands. This book is aimed at tourists, residents and short-term visitors alike, and includes thoroughly researched information on what each place is really like. It is divided into nine colour coded sections, covering everything from history and climate, museums, tours, camping or beach clubs to sporting activities and clubs and shopping. Also included are reviews of over 450 restaurants and bars in Dubai, each of which has been realistically assessed by an independent team of reporters.

BEWARE! I ordered this book almost six months ago and I've been told numerous times that it's delayed, over and over again. Needless to say, no book yet! I wish I could tell you it's a good one as I was so looking forward to reading it, but I suggest that if you're looking for a book to use as a guide for your trip, just buy an up to date publication once you're actually in Dubai!

The best guide of the region but most of the thickness of the book comes from the extensive dining and shopping directory. However, that might be just what you are looking for. As an American on business I would have like to have seen a more spent covering customs, history, and pictures.I suggest also bringing along "Lonely Planet Dubai".

Very informative and up-to-date guide - useful for visitors and expats alike. Split into 8 broad sections the guide starts with the usual general help - including cultural and practical information. Particularly liked the summary boxes and top tips - saves a lot of time ! The hotels listing may be disappointing for visitors (just a contact list) but the guide more than makes up for this by the great Eating Out/On the Town sections, with price guide and pretty accurate reviews of restaurants and the varied nightlife. The New Residents section is an essential reading for expats or potential expats - great practical information. The 'Exploring', 'Pleasure and Leisure' and 'Sporting activities' sections contain all a reader needs to know about what to do in the Emirates - without this book a visitor could miss out on many of the delights offered in this part of the world. Since shopping is a major pastime in Dubai this section of the guide is an excellent timesaving guide to the malls and the extensive range of goods to buy.Extensive index and the simple, practical layout of the guide make it easy to use. The aerial maps at the back of the book are stunning ! Dubai is a rapidly developing place and a current guide is essential - as an expat myself I always buy the new edition of Explorer and refer to it almost daily. Much more up-to-date information than many other guidebooks - thoroughly recommended for expats and visitors !
