"Super-stylish travel guides - perfect for short break addicts" Harvey Nichols magazine; "Who should pack Footprint - readers who want to escape the crowd." The Observer"
From the Publisher
There is a passion for travel and discovery at Footprint that has been reflected in our publishing since the South American Handbook was first published back in 1924. More than 80 years on, our aim is still simple: to give travellers a refreshingly different view that helps them to follow their own route and have a unique, memorable experience. Over 100 current guides reflect the many ways in which people enjoy independent travel; whether exploring ancient sites, seeking an adrenalin-filled adventure or relaxing on the beach, our authors do all they can to bring our customers the very best of each destination we cover.
Who are Footprint’s™ customers?
Footprint books are used by seasoned travellers of all ages and nationalities. What they have in common is a determination to travel independently and to get their own unique experience of the world. Footprint customers love adventure, are resourceful and enjoy getting off the beaten track. They are inquisitive about different cultures and sensitive towards the communities they encounter.
What makes Footprint different?
An ever-increasing number of travellers are discovering Footprint books, taking them on trips, enjoying an approach to travel that is distinctly different from other guides.
These are the features of the books most valued by experienced travellers:
The authors of Footprint guides have a depth of knowledge and passion for the destination, which ensures that the books are always detailed and accurate. They show places to eat, sleep and visit that are away from the tourist haunts and are often known only to the locals.
The books provide a wide range of options for travellers seeking out the very best activities and adventures. This gives travellers the freedom to explore off the beaten track, providing unique, memorable experiences.

When I travelled to Dubai for the first time last November, I purchased 3 different guidebooks. But this was the one we kept turning to. It has all of the information that you need, including many bits and pieces you don't find in the others.
For me, the most important aspect of any guide is that from its descriptions I can get a real feel for what an experience will be like. Whether in a restaurant, hotel or sightseeing I have very particular tastes so I'm often a little disappointed. This Footprints guide never let me down. Also, the small format is very convenient because it fits easily into the pocket of chinos or shorts. And when you're in the Dubai sun you want to travel light!

This is a very well written guide. The author has taken the trouble to get to know Dubai really well and this shines through in all the guide's sections. I was able to recognise instantly places and establishments I knew from Gilmore's accounts of them.
More informative still, however, was her ability to weave history and culture seamlessly into the guide. This enables the visitor to really understand the scale and pace of development in Dubai and the sheer political will of the Emirate's leadership.
Perhaps most important of all, it is entertaining without being frivolous. It achieves in its rather constraining format much more than one expects from standard tour guides
