Suggested Reading on Dubai
Father of Dubai by Graeme Wilson. Sheik Rashid Bin Saeed al Maktoum (1999). A tribute to the founder of Dubai. Through the Looking Glass (1979) by Jonathan Rabans covers the Emirate as a whole, but also has an interesting section on Dubai. Dubai Tales (1991) by Muhammad al-Murr provides a local perspective and comes from the English translation of his famed short stories. Muhammad al-Murr is probably one of the most revered local authors. It is worth trying to get a copy of his other famous book, The Wink of the Mona Lisa (1994). An Arabian Album (1992) by Ronald Codrai offers a good pictorial view of Dubai. The Emirates (1995) by Kevin Higgins puts Dubai in clear context and also offers an overall look of the United Arab Emirates. The Emirates by the First Photographers (2002) by William Facey and Gillian Grant pictures the scale of change in Dubai and the other emirates over the last century.
