Dubai step by step - Matt Jones

Step by Step Dubai offers a fresh take on this exciting emirate and its surrounds, revealed through a selection of clearly laid-out walks and tours, complemented by beautiful full-colour pictures, an authoritative narrative voice, and a wealth of practical information.

Key routes are highlighted in Recommended Tours, which take in the city's unmatched collection of hedonistic resorts, beaches, contrasting neighbourhoods, bustling souks, and of course its colossal malls. The guide's Orientation section provides a comprehensive round up of the emirate's key highlights, its fairly recent, but nonetheless impressive, history and development, and details of the abundant food and drink, entertainment and shopping opportunities available to its visitors. Each of the tours has an easy-to-follow map and hand-picked places to eat and drink en route.

The Directory provides background information on local culture, lifestyle and traditions, plus a tempting selection of restaurants and nightlife options.
