Dubai is a city surrounded by desert and facing an ocean. As an oil sheikdom, it has expanded and modernized extremely quickly into a valued stop-over destination for travellers on the long route to and from Australasia. This edition is new, in that we have re-worked the artwork to have Dubai on one side and the entire United Arab Emirates and the popular country of Oman on the other side at a very decent scale. Visitors can now, for the first time, obtain not only a detailed map of Dubai, but an excellent map of the entire region at the same time.
