Dubai a shrinking violet? Never! 337 days of sunshine every year, 1 world’s tallest building 162 bars & restaurants reviewed, 112 souqs, malls and shops sampled Comprehensive map section In-depth background on Dubai’s shopping scene Range of planning tools and easy-to-read layout Coverage Includes: Planning chapters, Deira, Bur Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah, New Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Day Trips, Understand and Survival chapters

Review: Exactly what you'd need for a trip to Dubai - This has all the major attractions and tips that you would need for a trip to the city. The fold out maps are pretty good but not very durable. They could also have a bit more detail on them. Overall this was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect size to toss in a purse or small bag.
Review: Good for the Price - We spent 5 days in Dubai and used the guide for some basic orientation and for suggestions on sightseeing. It served this purpose. However, I found the guide to be very basic....it does not describe all the sites very well and does not go into depth. Also, it would be nice if it included a few pictures and provided recommendations on on things like "what is the best time to visit the Burj Khalifa", or "which are the good desert safaris" etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked For Me
*by B***N on April 25, 2013*

I used this book to plan a 3 day trip to Dubai. I found it very suitable for my purpose and reasonably accurate. I knew in advance what I wanted to do there and it worked out as planned. The hotel gives a detailed map so it is not necessary to have it bulk up a guidebook. The deceptive thing about Dubai is distances. Things look close but are not. For example to walk from the Dubai Mall metro to the fountains took 45 minutes as they are on the opposite side and the mall is at least a mile long. Taxi's are cheap though. Walking from Burj Al Arab to Mall to the Emirates looks possible, but trust me - take a cab. The metro took almost an hour from the new part of Dubai to the old, including a change. The book does not tell you that although the metro is easy to use. The book's tip to buy a gold card was essential. Also when it says that roads are impossible to cross, it is correct. Use taxi's. It is not worth the hassle. The most I paid for a cab was $20 from the souq's to Burj Al Arab. I also recommend a Yellow Boat tour which was not in the book. Get tickets to the Burj Khalifa in advance and get there an hour early .. we had 5.30 tickets and got to the top at 6.25.
