5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to Dubai, 15 Feb 2005

By	"derekr-h" - See all my reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A dichotamy unravelled, 23 Feb 2005

By A Customer

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
