Customer Reviews

The Most complete Dubai Book
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.

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning
I have been in discussion with my company about a posting in Dubai.

Being one of the few people left in the World (it appears) not to have visited here, I had to set about researching and found the web quite limiting in good quality detail beyond tourist level.

Enter "The Complete Residents Guide" to give me absolutely everything I wanted, and needed, to know.

Very well written and laid out, making an arduous task fun !

I visited last week and the content of this book prepared me for everything, and has been instrumental in my negotiations concerning my relocation & settlement package. Paid for itself one thousand times over.

It will be an invaluable resource whether you are looking to go, or whether you are a new arrival.............or even just a tourist.

Good buy
This is a very comprehensive book and seems to cover all angles for anyone considering moving there (as we are). It's well laid out, good index and reference and is particularly useful if you have a family. Good contacts for those with young children to help you settle in, useful for housing areas, hospitals and schools.
