Quite simply the most magical, delightful book I have read this year - intelligent, warm and down to earth. An inspiration for all travellers. My friends will get this one for Christmas.

.Dubai Red Tape
City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East
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.

.Middle East (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East
by: Anthony Ham, Andrew Burke, Jean-Bernard Carillet, Michael Kohn, Frances Linzee Gordon, Virginia Maxwell, Bradley Mayhew

April 01, 2006
I have recently returned from a trip using both the Lonely Planet to the Middle East and a separate country guide to Jordan. This particular compilation is sparse on cultural, historical and practical information (it is no more than 150 pages longer than the entire single country guide to Egypt), generally out of date (in particular, regarding prices and budgeting) and often misguiding (for example, several maps are marked with street names that are completely incorrect). If you are looking for a guide book to help plan a trip to the Middle East then you would be better off considering a different series, investigating the single country guides or not taking one at all.

this book is very informative and easy to follow. I would have liked to see more colour pictures in it though - that was the only disappointment for me.
