.Dubai Complete Residents' Guide

by: Explorer Publishing

January 15, 2008
The thing with Dubai is that it is changing all the time. Most people who move to Dubai will purchase this book because it is updated every year, and the Explorer are the only ones to update their book regularly. Why the book is so good is because it covers everything from moving to Dubai, to the coolest restaurants and ents, to property, to construction. It is also recommended by the independant guides to Dubai, including grapeshisha.com which calls it the "must have guide to Dubai". If you are moving to Dubai, you must get this book. It will help you out with all the things you hadn't thought of.

.Abu Dhabi Complete Residents' Guide

by: Explorer Publishing

January 15, 2008
When we lived in Abu Dhabi seven years ago the best current information we could find about Abu Dhabi was fifteen ill-written and inaccurate pages in a popular Middle East guide book of the time. Today we have the venerable Abu Dhabi Explorer to help us with our second residential trip to the Emirates. I have read it from cover to cover and am simply amazed by Explorer Publishing's thorough treatment of this vibrant city. If you want to know how to get a residents visa or where the best beach clubs can be found, or maybe you need to find out how to get a liquor license. It's all within this comprehensive volume of knowledge. An absolute must for anyone relocating or considering a lengthy trip to Abu Dhabi. Go on - prove me wrong!

.Dubai Red Tape

by: Explorer Publishing

February 15, 2007
I moved to Dubai at the start of this year (2007) and my wife purchased the Red Tape guide on a friend's recommendation. What a massive help it has proved.

Dubai is in a catagory by itself when it comes to officialdom. Everyone here carries about 20 passport photos, coppies of their visas and stamped company letters of "no objection" with them just to buy milk. Okay, so it's not as bad as that, but when you get here there are things you'll need to sort out very quickly, like driving licences, electricity supplies, bank accounts and cable TV. All of these will require you to wander through a sometimes bewildering maze of locations, forms and translations and one missing document means you may have wasted an entire day.

.Muscat Mini Map

by: Explorer Publishing

February 15, 2007
We tried looking on the internet, Google maps etc and were worried that we weren't going to be able to find our way to our hotel in Muscat in the hire car as we drove from Dubai. This little gem of a map was a lifesaver. It looks a bit like a 'hotel' map since it has all the hotels and shopping centres marked on it, but that's what you need to find your way around this region. Don't be put off. Buy it!

.Sydney Complete Residents' Guide

by: Explorer Publishing

April 15, 2007
I came across the Explorer series and the 'Sydney' guide in particular whilst browsing for books concerning Australia. Most of the quality colour guides were priced around GBP17.00 mark, and above. The Sydney Explorer undercuts these colour guides by around 25 percent without sacrificing quality. Furthermore, much of the Sydney Explorer appears to have been written by, or with reference to, residents of Sydney who share with the reader their knowledge and experiences of their fair city. There is an introductory section that provides useful information for people considering emigrating to Australia and, surprisingly, a section concerning leaving Australia. The Sydney Explorer, as well as the other guides in the series, represent excellent value ... Read More:

.London Complete Residents' Guide

by: Explorer Publishing

April 15, 2007
What a great book! I've lived in London for four years and know the city pretty well already, but this book has got so much information on making the most of living here that I wish I had a copy when I moved here. The chapters on joining clubs and doing activities, and the ones on shopping and going out, add a whole new level to your social life. Seems like a great new range of titles too - next time I move, I know where to turn. Thanks Explorer!
