WELCOME TO DUBAI AND ABU DHABI

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are two of the worlds most exciting, rapidly changing cities. Packed with soaring skyscrapers, chic shopping malls and luxury resorts, both offer a surfeit of hedonistic pleasures and futuristic style. With Eyewitness Top 10 Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it is yours to explore.

Both these cities have rewritten the record books and established themselves as global icons with mega-developments. Dubais sail-shaped Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is one of the Middle Easts most instantly recognizable landmarks, now rivalled by the cloud-capped Burj Khalifa, the worlds tallest building. In Abu Dhabi, the extravagant Emirates Palace and monumental Sheikh Zayed Mosque have set their own raft of records, with the Louvre Abu Dhabi adding lustre to the citys ever-growing array of attractions.

Although modern developments tend to hog the headlines, both cities, Dubai especially, have an older and more traditional side. The labyrinthine souks of Deira and the historic windtower houses of BurDubai are a joy to explore, while a ride on Dubais breezy creek is the highlight of any visit. Outside the two cities, the desert landscape is spectacular, and is best appreciated with a drive across the dunes.

Whether youre coming for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything that the cities have to offer, from shopping for spices in the backstreets of Deira to the futuristic cityscapes of Dubai Marina and Al Maryah Island. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to avoiding the crowds, plus nine easy-to-follow itineraries designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

BURJ KHALIFA AND AROUND

Opened in 2010, the Burj Khalifa is by far the tallest building on the planet (828 m/2,716 ft). Its needle-thin outline soars high above Dubai and is visible from almost 100 km (62 miles) away. The Burj was planned as the centrepiece of the multi-billion-dollar Downtown Dubai development, but only when prompted by Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed did architects consider making it the tallest building in the world and a true symbol of Dubais towering ambitions.
