Book Description
The UAE, composed of the seven states of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain, have made the desert bloom-for the benefit of both citizen and tourist.

Parks, golf courses, and racecourses stand in lush and verdant contrast to the desert sand, while gardens ablaze with tropical color enrich the wide, tree-lined roads and avenues of the Emirates' twenty-first century cities. Yet just outside civilization, the ancient sands of the Arabian Desert lure the visitor. With a detailed section on the economy, Spectrum Guide to the United Arab Emirates is the first comprehensive and visitor-friendly guide to this modern grouping of states. It is an essential companion for business travelers and tourists alike. ... Read more
