I was really surprised by this book. For how small it is, it covers more than I thought it would. It focuses on 5 areas. 1-Abu Dhabi and 4 areas/regions in Dubai. Detailed maps are provided for all (The fold out map is a bit awkward but there are also several mini maps throughout the book with marked numbers of the places/sites you are reading about.
The "10" is on account of the frequent lists given throughout the guide in groups of 10. It is not overly detailed but gives you many options to consider visiting or seeing without having to wade through a lot of extrenuous information to get to the nitty-gritty and, typical of DK publications, they are not skimpy on the amount of color photographs (although it is a small guide book, made that way for ease of portability, so some of the photos will naturally be quite small).
It is not going to have extensive detail on the history of Dubai or the UAE nor on all of the customs and traditions of the people. For those who will be visting Dubai for a long time, going there more than once, or consider relocating, this book along with Lonley Planet's "Dubai City Guide" and Culture Smart's "The essential guide to customs and culture of UAE" make a great trio.

This little travel guide has everything a visitor needs to know what to do in Dubai. I liked the maps, which were difficult to find on the internet. Small, handy size is a plus but content is thorough for a visitor without having to plow through hundreds of pages to get the same essential facts. Packed with phone numbers, email addresses, addresses and enough photos to know what you are getting. Highly recommended.

nice size for travel. has a lot of information. seemed thou that information repeated it self couple of times in different sections. Could be a little more condensed. there is some information missing.. like train. it is a new city so things change. they have the train to the Burj Khalifa tower. its very easy..train takes you to the Dubai mall and then long cat walk takes you to the huge shopping center and the tower is right there on the ground level. reserve the time for the observation deck because there is a schedule (every 30min or hour) for it to go up for the lowest price (about $30 a person if I remember right). if you want to go right away you will pay double. so reserve the ticket and go shopping, while waiting. there is an amazing fountain show outside at night..music and fountains..great show.really impressive!!! take a short walk outside by the little river around the tower after 6pm, when sun is down. if you want to go anywhere else you will need a taxi. I had a connecting flight, so the train to the mall and to see the tallest building in the world tour worked great to me.
