LUXE Dubai (LUXE City Guides)

"In only fifty years this little pearl-fishing village on the Arabian Gulf has transformed itself into a slick, mega-rich desert oasis of R&R, sun, sand, shopping and spa. Like succulent dates, LUXE entries are all handpicked from the Lovely Palm. Aladdin, rub that magic lamp... Want the very best of Dubai in one glam little pocket/purse-sized companion? Want world-class chefs and a slew of smart shopping options? Want to 4wd into the desert at sunset for supper under the stars? Want to find stashes of Omani silver, Arabic antiques and Indian furniture? Want traditional beaded slippers and fabulously embroidered clothes bespoke? Want to visit racing stables, balloon over the desert, helicopter over the city or picnic on a hideaway beach? Want to find the finest shops, restaurants, spas, bars and services and avoid the rest? Well, now you can."
