Frommer's Dubai
$19.99
The text and suggestions are actually pretty good, and benefit from the fact that attractions are rated (so you more easily tailor what you see based on how much time you have); the supporting maps, however, are a complete embarrassment: they're either insufficient (the one for Old Dubai/the souks is a complete joke and you can't rely on it to see what the text points to), or are completely wrong (for example attractions in Al Bastakiya, which should also have its own map, are in the wrong place!!). Totally shameful, and am sure the editor is no longer at Frommers.

ABC News 20/20 Dark Side of Dubai
$9.95
Welcome to Dubai, a city with a glittering skyline, world class shopping malls and luxury resorts. In fact, Dubai may be the world's biggest boomtown. But as ABC News reports, human rights groups say that Dubai's gleaming towers are being built on the backs of exploited foreign workers. In an exclusive report,ABC News went inside Dubai to learn how the emirate has grown so far so fast - Dubai's building boom has been made possible by some 500,000 migrant construction workers, most from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Many work 12 hours a day, six days a week, in extremely hot temperatures that have led to illness and, in some cases, death. The workers live in crowded camps, with eight or more men sharing one small room. Just days after ABC News began asking questions, the government of the U.A.E. announced a series of reforms to improve the conditions of workers.

60 Minutes - Dubai Inc. (October 14, 2007)
$17.95
La imaginaci���n del hombre no tiene l���mites. La mejor demostraci���n de esta sentencia la ha realizado Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Primer Ministro de Emiratos ���rabes Unidos.

El Primer Ministro sabe que el petr���leo se acabar��� en el futuro mediano. Encontr��� en su Plan Estrat���gico un nuevo fil���n que le reemplazara para poder sostener su est���ndar de vida: El turismo. Para atraer a los visitantes dise���o una nueva Dubai. Se construyeron Islas Artificiales, el maravilloso Hotel Burj Al Arab, la Torre Burj Dubai, con sus imponentes 818 metros de altura, el Metro, que se inaugurar��� el 9 de septiembre de 2009, y una impresionante serie de Centros Comerciales.
Tambi���n ha hecho ���nfasis en la importancia de la Educaci���n, Salud y Vivienda. Esta pel���cula es un claro reflejo de este crecimiento maravilloso. En lo personal me sirvi��� mucho durante mi visita a Dubai.
