1.City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of CapitalismCity of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism
from St. Martin's Press
Price: $14.45

Customer Review:
This overview of Dubai is more provocative and much lighter in tone than Christopher Davidson's "Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success" (which I also recommend). In Krane's book, roughly a third is about the early history of Dubai, a third is a paean to the wisdom and vision of its ruling sheiks in... more info

2.Dubai: The Vulnerability of SuccessDubai: The Vulnerability of Success
from Columbia University Press
Price: $17.54

Customer Review:
The title aptly sums up the Dubai phenomena and even anticipates Dubai's current post-crisis travails. Full marks to Davidson for his well-researched and objective study of the rise of a phenomenal and plucky little emirate. Academic writing aside, this book is what every serious student of Dubai... more info

The author shows that this is such a difficult subject, and that everytime you think you know which side you're on, all... more info

from I B Tauris & Co Ltd
Price: $112.36

Customer Review:
I recently traveled to Abu Dhabi and was given this book as a gift. It was a wonderful surprise. The book covers the history of Abu Dhabi--both the far past and the recent past.

I just received this book today and I was ready to read it with great expectations because of the exceptional architecture in the Emirates. Unfortunately,I was instantly discouraged.

from daab
Price: $164.40

Customer Review:
I found this book quite disappointing. Perhaps better effort could be put into making it. This book has a very pretty cover, but that's about it. From the cover on (and the first few pages) it's going downhill
