This review is from: CultureShock! United Arab Emirates (CultureShock! Guides) (Cultureshock United Arab Emirates: A Survival Guide to Customs & Eti) (Paperback)

I got this book before heading off to Abu Dhabi to work with their schools. Having been here now for over a week the information was correct and very helpful. It doesn't have touristy information but good solid advice for working here.

This review is from: CultureShock! United Arab Emirates (CultureShock! Guides) (Cultureshock United Arab Emirates: A Survival Guide to Customs & Eti) (Paperback)

This book is packed full of information about the culture and the region. When my nephew was sent over for a tour of duty, he was required by the Army to read this book. I picked it up wanting to know what life was like for him over there and I'm glad I did. If you are going to live in the UAE, or are simply interested in the place and the people, it is a must read.
