In only fifty years this little pearl-fishing village on the Arabian Gulf has transformed itself into a slick, mega-rich desert oasis of R&R, sun, sand, shopping and spa. Like succulent dates, LUXE entries are all handpicked from the Lovely Palm. Aladdin, rub that magic lamp...

Want the very best of Dubai in one glam little pocket/purse-sized companion?
Want world-class chefs and a slew of smart shopping options?
Want to 4wd into the desert at sunset for supper under the stars?
Want to find stashes of Omani silver, Arabic antiques and Indian furniture?
Want traditional beaded slippers and fabulously embroidered clothes bespoke?
Want to visit racing stables, balloon over the desert, helicopter over the city or picnic on a hideaway beach?
Want to find the finest shops, restaurants, spas, bars and services and avoid the rest?

Well, now you can.

More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely little guide for the hip at heart....., March 21, 2007

This cute-itty-bitty guide is true to its title - LUXE!!!! Most of the hotels, retailers and dining destinations are only for those with lots of cash to flash.....but everybody needs a treat every now and then (birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations). Why bother trawling your way through streets of bland 'same-same' corporate shopping mall nonsense when you can focus in on the GOOD STUFF. (Please note: this mini-guide is text only, there are no maps or pics)
