Every major guidebook company from Lonely Planet to Let’s Go makes a Dubai guidebook.
Shop around for a guidebook that fits your travel style. If you’re visiting Dubai on a budget, Lonely Planet, Let’s Go, and the Rough Guide are some of the best Dubai guidebooks.
If you’re going upscale, look into guides like the Hg2 Dubai (A Hedonist’s Guide to Dubai), the Wallpaper Guide to Dubai, or the LUXE guide to Dubai that offer more high-end suggestions for Dubai hotels, restaurants, and shopping in Dubai.
If you love sightseeing, consider picking up the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With photos and illustrations on every page, the Eyewitness Dubai and Abu Dhabi guidebook is great for explaining the details of Dubai’s many historic buildings and landmarks.
On a budget? A lot of the best deals on Dubai guidebooks can be found on websites where travelers that have just returned from Dubai are selling their books. If you’re lucky you can get a copy with good notes and suggestions written in!
One last tip on finding the best Dubai guidebooks: check the date the guidebook was published. If it is more than a year old, don’t buy it. Things change so quickly in Dubai that an old guidebook will be of little use to you today.
