Description
Find your own journey. Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be experienced from high vantage points, but also through neighborhoods, culture, and small breaks between major sights. This Lonely Planet city guide provides multiple entry points to your journey and helps you group visits that fit together.
Experiences to look forward to. The Burj Khalifa, Butterfly Garden, and the 421 cultural arena are among the book’s examples. The guide covers a range of neighborhoods in both cities and includes suggestions for day trips, including Al Ain, Hatta, and Liwa. A pull-out map of Dubai is included, and dedicated themes cover topics such as shopping and culinary experiences.
Who is this guide for? This is a guide for those who wish to see both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or desire a thorough starting point for one of them. Use the neighborhood sections to give your days a natural flow rather than jumping between individual destinations without a plan.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can allow more time to get to know each location, and it is often useful to leave certain days less scheduled. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to reach and what you want to have time to experience.
A physical travel guide is also excellent to return to during the journey. Bring it out when the next leg is to be discussed, rediscover an idea you noted, and let your plans evolve as you become familiar with the destination. It works equally well as inspiration for the initial travel dream as it does as support when making concrete choices.
