That book is indeed bloody fantastic. When I was moving to Dubai, I used three sources of information: Dubai Explorer, Zappy Explorer and the www.ExpatWoman.com web-site. All invaluable. Once out there, Time Out and Connector magazines are handy too.

Interesting thread........real good waste of cyber space.....brill chris! lol

Yeah the book is brilliant and all, but like CP and Joe have said in the past, its only once u r actually standing out under the Dubai Sun can u really get a feel for the place. Books and guides are fantastic, but nothing beats the real McCoy!

Anywho, if u need any q's answered, fire away and we will c if we can sort u out. Enjoy ur new book.
