. City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: William Dalrymple
April 11, 1994
I recently read city of djinns written by william dalrymple. It was such an honour to know that somebody has actually tried, visiting and living in delhi to know the real delhi. It is so amazing to read your own thoughts which have been devloped over the years and know know someone else has thought them too. I believe i can really relate to the book as i was born and brought up in delhi. I had always thought that there is something special about the place and the way Mr Darlmaple has researched and written the book is so beautiful.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading a bit about our history, to know real Indians, not Hindus, not Muslims, Sikhs or Christians but true Indians, then they must read this ... Read More:

. Mirrors of the Unseen: Journeys in Iran
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Jason Elliot
July 20, 2007
This is a rather unprofessional and distorted piece of work as neither the author nor the publisher seem to have got the basic facts right about the country and its people. The map of Iran at the beginning of the book with the stretch of water in the south of the country not being shown by its proper name, Persian Gulf, is a good evidence of the ignorance and lack of professional approach in the preparation and publication of this book. As "a picture is worth thousand words" I find this critical error a shining mirror of the publisher's lack of understanding and poor judgement, making all the praises printed on the cover of the book rather hollow and misleading.

. Abu Dhabi Complete Residents' Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
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!

. Jordan (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Bradley Mayhew
April 01, 2006
A good country guide. Jordan is a small country which has many sights to see, the book is not very comprehensive and only provides details of sights in a brief format, which suits me as I don't like to be have every detail thrown at me.
As with all lonely Planet guides, this book is much more aimed at backpackers giving all the transport and budget details you'll need. I found a few details were significantly out of date and resulted in expensive taxi rides and some confused looks from the locals. Check the lonely planet website for updates.
If you are deciding whether to get the Rough Guide or the Lonely Planet (I used both for my trip) then you need to decide what you need to know. The rough Guide is very good at giving you ... Read More:

. Istanbul (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd
February 01, 2007
Invaluable, had information even the locals we were staying with didn't know: and was so good they asked if they could have it after we left Istanbul. Didn't leave my side the whole time. Isaw this thing in the hands of so many tourists in several different languages, especially on the Bosphorus trip. The maps were very useful for us and so should be for most, provided you know how to read a map. Forget contact lenses and emergency money; if you only bring one thing with you make it this travel guide.
