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, they are yours to explore. Both these cities have rewritten the record books and established themselves as global icons with recent mega-developments. Dubai’s sail-shaped Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is one of the Middle East’s most instantly recognizable landmarks, now rivalled by the cloud-capped Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. In Abu Dhabi, the extravagant Emirates Palace hotel and monumental Sheikh Zayed Mosque have set their own raft of records, with the Abu Dhabi Louvre poised to add further lustre to the city’s ever-growing array of attractions. Although modern developments inevitably hog the headlines, both cities – Dubai especially – have an older and much more traditional side. The labyrinthine souks of Deira and the historic windtower houses of Bur Dubai are a joy to explore, while a ride on Dubai’s breezy creek is the highlight of any visit. Outside the two cities the desert landscape is spectacular, and is best appreciated with an exhilarating afternoon drive across the sand dunes. Whether you’re coming for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything the two cities can offer, whether shopping for spices in the backstreets of Deira or exploring the futuristic cityscapes of Dubai Marina and Al Maryah Island. The guide gives tips throughout, from seeking out what’s free to avoiding the crowds, plus nine easy-to-follow itineraries designed to help you visit a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and you’ve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

  • Souls of Mischief: ’93 Still Infinity Tour Hits Pawtucket
    Souls of Mischief: ’93 Still Infinity Tour Hits Pawtucket The Met played host to the Souls of Mischief during their 20-year anniversary tour of their legendary debut album, “’93 til Infinity”. This Oakland-based hip- hop group, comprised of four life-long friends, A-Plus, Tajai, Opio and Phesto, together has created one of the most influential anthems of the ‘90’s hip-hop movement: the title track of the album, ’93 ‘til Infinity. This song is a timeless classic. It has a simple, but beautifully melodic beat that works seamlessly with the song’s message of promoting peace, friendship and of course, chillin’. A perfect message to kick off a summer of music with. The crowd early on in the night was pretty thin and the supporting acts did their best to amp up the audience for the Souls of Mischief. When they took the stage at midnight, the shift in energy was astounding. They walked out on stage and the waning crowd filled the room in seconds. The group was completely unfazed by the relatively small showing and instead, connected with the crowd and how excited they were to be in Pawtucket, RI of all places. Tajai, specifically, reminisced about his youth and his precious G.I. Joes (made by Hasbro) coming from someplace called Pawtucket and how “souped” he was to finally come through. The show was a blissful ride through the group’s history, mixing classic tracks like “Cab Fare” with more recent releases, like “Tour Stories”. The four emcees seamlessly passed around the mic and to the crowd’s enjoyment, dropped a song from their well-known hip-hop super-group, Hieroglyphics, which includes the likes of Casual, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and more.
