Background information is good but maps are difficult to read on a Kindle. You would be better off with a local map.

Maps not up to Frommer's standards
27 Oct 2009

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The text and suggestions are actually pretty good, and benefit from the fact that attractions are rated (so you more easily tailor what you see based on how much time you have); the supporting maps, however, are a complete embarrassment: they're either insufficient (the one for Old Dubai/the souks is a complete joke and you can't rely on it to see what the text points to), or are completely wrong (for example attractions in Al Bastakiya, which should also have its own map, are in the wrong place!!). Totally shameful, and am sure the editor is no longer at Frommers.

Just ok

This book provided enough detail, but seemed to be a little disorganized. Also, maps are not good, as we got lost trying to find the historic region.

Photos is a must in a travel guide. This travel guide has almost none. The text by itself is ok.
