Fabulous Guide for a Short Visit,
By DMB (SC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top 10 Dubai and Abu Dhabi (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) (Paperback)
I got this book as a guide for a five-day trip to Dubai, and it was extremely helpful. It is a small and skinny 128-page book, which meant it fit in my purse and could easily be brought out for quick reference to all of the remarkable sites of Dubai. It is easy to read with great facts and helpful travel tips. I highly recommend it for someone going to Dubai for a shorter stay - if you are going there for a long (over two weeks) time, you will probably want something that digs a little deeper. If I had one complaint, it would be that the maps of the Deira souqs (bazaar) area were not detailed enough. Dubai is not a walkable city, but the souqs of Deira can really only be explored on foot. If you get lost or turned around, it can be rather disorienting. That one portion of the city map could have had more streets listed to assist with that.

Everything's Changing So Quickly,

This review is from: Top 10: Dubai & Abu Dhabi (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
These Emirates are changing so quickly and much of this book is already out of date. I used this book to plan a two day trip to Dubai on my way to Pakistan and found the listing of open metro stops to be inaccurate (it had some that weren't yet in service and was also completely missing a few that were open). The hours and descriptions of some of the museums and historical areas were also incorrect. I can't really blame the book since the rate of construction in these areas is so rapid. I'd recommend doing additional research on the Internet.
The included map was very useful and I did not need to purchase an additional one. The photos, as with all Eyewitness Travel Guides, are great and give you a good preview of what to expect. On a side note, I'd highly recommend going on a Desert Safari if you have more than 1 day in Dubai and/or aren't planning on going to Abu Dhabi. There's only so much time one can spend shopping :)
