Product Description Beyond Dubai is a light-hearted journey around the Emirates in search of its past—encountering smugglers, fire-starting genies, loved-up camels, and a mysterious mountain tribe along the way. In addition to exploring the UAE’s lost cities and hidden treasures, it also tells the extraordinary tale of how climate change transformed a once-fertile grassland into the starkly beautiful desert that it is today.

The National'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'A lighthearted and accessible read ... Millar's fascination for the archaeology of the Emirates is genuine and palpable.' Ancient History
