Eye of Dubai releases English guidebook at Media and Marketing Show 2007

The release of the comprehensive Dubai guidebook has been strategically scheduled to coincide with the onset of the UAE's exhibition season, during which time the demand for the Eye of Dubai guides rapidly increases.

The comprehensive guidebook, which is endorsed and supported by the Dubai Government, provides the latest information about the emirate and includes maps of popular destinations and detailed reviews about all aspects of life in the city.

'Eye of Dubai is a must-have for all visitors and even residents as it is the most up-to-date guidebook available in the UAE.
