I've been researching the idea of a possible relocation to Dubai, UAE & bought this to help learn about the place. This guide is pretty expansive, detailing the various sections of the city, what there is to do, the culture, the costs of living, the job market, a bit of the bureaucracy (although I understand that Dubai Red Tape is the go-go guide for that particular topic) & does answer alot of questions a foreigner may have, whether you are actually looking to move there or are simply interested in visiting.
