Frommerโs books arenโt written by committee, or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We employ the best experts to author our guides, like Gavin Thomas who has been reporting on Dubai since it was just a forest of construction cranes. Heโs the author of this innovative guide that combines maps, photos and detailed itineraries to help visitors plan their time in the most efficient way possible. The book covers the best of Dubai & Abu Dhabi in one, two, or three days, thematic tours for every interest, schedule, and taste (including Arabian heritage tours and day trips to Sharjah, Al Ain and Hatta), hundreds of evocative photos, bulleted maps that show you how to go from place to place, candid reviews of hotels, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife for all budgets, and a tear-resistant foldout map ย enclosed in a handy plastic wallet you can also use for tickets and souvenirs. Review: Good information presented in a clear, concise fashion. - Suggestions of what to do are very helpful. I like to plan in advance. There is a lot of information in this book, and with the information given it is pretty easy to plan priorities to do and see. Cost estimates are helpful, although I know that changes. Maps are very helpful in scheduling what to do and in what order. I also like having information about the transit system. There are a few things I would like to know such as are credit cards widely accepted (by taxis?) exchanging money necessary? There is a lot to see and the book helps you prioritize. The suggestions about what to get and where to go for souvenirs was helpful. Review: detailed and comprehensive - This travel guide is detailed and comprehensive.

This book is geared more towards Dubai with not a whole lot for Abu Dhabi. However, it still contains helpful tips for someone who has never been to either place.

Don't got to Dubai without it
This book MADE my trip! I followed the daily plans and we had a blast. It needs: a closer map of the souk/Al Ras area. It needs to add a section on the Global Village, which everyone said was a highlight of the trip but wasn't in the book. It could use more information on the daily tours available and the reputable companies. Because there is repetition, there's plenty of space to add those.

Digital version - No expanded maps
Note the front cover maps and the foldout map in the physical book are Not included in the digital. Otherwise it's a nice book.

Nice little reference book
Very nice little book for bringing with you for short holiday in Dubai. We referred to it quite often to figure out what we wanted to see and how we were going to get there. It is really good for first timers to Dubai as it shows all the key places you could reasonably get to a 1-2 week stay.
