Dubai Encounter

by: Terry Carter, Lara Dunston, Olivia Pozzan
Because my son accepted an assignment in Dubai, I have
been reading all I can find. Lonely Planet's Dubai
Encounter has by far the most accurate information I've
found, at least as I've compared notes with my son.
It is well written, well organized, compact.

I even got to tell my son the location of a recommended
Mexican restaurant. --Not so important, in the scheme
of high finance, but when he wants an enchilada, he can
now go for it.

Time Out Dubai: Abu Dhabi and the UAE

I recently returned from a five day tour de force of Dubai. I purchased Time Out Dubai and DK's Top Ten Dubai. The Time Out book is quite detailed and informative, but I found the text size to be too small for anything but careful examination under perfect reading conditions, and the weight of the book to be too heavy to carry around on the scene. This is published by the same outfit which publishes a local weekly (which I never saw while in Dubai) which must explain the presence of advertising pages in the book.

Frommer's Dubai

by: Shane Christensen
This book provided enough detail, but seemed to be a little disorganized. Also, maps are not good, as we got lost trying to find the historic region.
