Dubai Top Tip #1 - Read Jim Krane's book about Dubai

When we first moved here we had so many questions that we couldn't quite find the answers to. We wanted to understand more about how this place that was to be our new home had evolved from a humble fishing village into this super modern city. We felt we were missing a massive piece of context about Dubai, the history the reasons why things are a certain way. 




Jim Krane's fantastic book Dubai - The Story of The World Fastest Growing City  answered most of them, it's essential reading for anyone new to Dubai or considering moving here or even just interested. 


Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of life or historical events and Jim Krane weaves it all together with fairness and empathy to tell Dubai's story. From how the Burj Al Arab got built to why people in Dubai drive like maniac's, this book spans history and recent events to give you a complete picture of this crazy place called Dubai.
