Nature Walks (Wildlife Encounters in the U.A.E.)
Absolutely breathtaking. Filled with magic, wonder and sprinkled with facts, some of which are humorous, others more poignant. I don’t think I’ll ever look at Ras Al Khaimah in the same way again. The world needs this book.
Mary Rita McGuire, entrepreneur
Simple, authentic, sensory and with a fabulous insight on the raw honest beauty of nature and the wildlife that surrounds us.

Under The Desert
Old cities in the UAE that disappeared
The desert is such an extraordinary place of natural beauty and ancient mysteries that there is really no need to make up its treasures though. And the man who spent more time living in the Arabian sands and portrayed its wonders more enchantingly than anyone before or since was Wilfred Thesiger. This is a genuine love letter to Dubai and the UAE. Who said that Dubai is a new city? Freya, narrator's wife, was completely impressed by its historical traces. You will be, too, for sure. From the ancient epoch this land was a transit zone between Mesopotamia and India, a lot of trading was held here, merchants used to stop here to overnight and rest. You will find mythical cities and legends, vampires and lost objects deeply covered by the sand dunes. You will rediscover the Emirates. You will fall in love with this desert for sure. This is a book that will appeal hugely to expats in the UAE or holiday makers interested in going beyond the beaches and taking a look at the rich heritage and culture the country has to offer. Beyond Dubai is a light read that makes its subject accessible and enjoyable, Alexander McNabb, Fake Plastic Souks blogCollection Intimate guides
