Dubai Essential

One thing I should have picked up before coming out to Dubai is a book called the Dubai Explorer - it is a fantastic resident's guide to life, the city and everything. I also picked up the accompanying street map which no doubt goes out of date the second it is printed will at least give me some geography of the area. There is also a guide by the same company called Dubai - Red Tape Explorer - I have not got this yet but I am sure I will. The bureaucracy here never ceases to amaze me.

This is without doubt the bible/koran of Dubai and such receives a 10/10 rating.
