Review: Lots of curiosities re. UAE - Very enjoyable read for the ones that want to know more on UAE and their history. Quite hyronical and easy to read
Review: All I missed was a feeling of contact with the indigenous people I knew and liked so much - As someone who knew the area well over forty years ago it was illuminating. How I envy the writer the ability to get to places I had no means of accessing all those years ago. All I missed was a feeling of contact with the indigenous people I knew and liked so much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ you will need a little more time and effort than just a week to truly enjoy the sights that are yours for the taking
*by A***Y on 27 October 2014*

Most visitors to Dubai, and indeed residents, just content themselves with the usual tourist activities - getting blotto at a Friday brunch, watching the sun set from the world's tallest building, riding an unpleasant and evil smelling camel on a desert safari, and shopping till you drop in the world's largest mall, etc etc - but you really will be missing those gems of history and culture that are out there just waiting to be discovered. However, you will need a little more time and effort than just a week to truly enjoy the sights that are yours for the taking. I have lived in the ultra-modern city of Dubai for 13 years and, until I read the book, had never before realised just how much culture and history is associated with this land of Sunni, sand and Shiite. The book was a revelation in that it has introduced me to parts of the UAE that I had never visited, nor even knew existed, and I now look forward to future explorations of the many historical and other sites associated with this part of the Gulf. The book is an amusing and well-written account of David's attempts to encourage the mystical girlfriend Freya to come and live with him in sin in Dubai, and their travels through the country and neighbouring Oman. It contains many interesting facts and anecdotes about Arab culture and life in general in glitzy Dubai and I particularly enjoyed the story about the origins of the expression "going round the bend" and had not realised how it was associated with this part of the world. Another amusing story was that of the "pissed" gazelles. So, if you really want to learn about the little-known cultural and historical sides to the UAE, or just like an entertaining and amusing read, then this is the book for you.
