520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Discovering the United Arab Emirates is designed to appeal not only to students of all nationalities but also to the growing number of families who choose to make their home here. The UAE government is vigorously promoting its culture and heritage, encouraging Emiratis, residents and tourists to visit cultural sites. Historic buildings are being renovated and opened up to the public. Meanwhile, international students are becoming increasingly interested in the region, and not just for its record-breaking buildings and economic success. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of people and places not on the tourist trail, the book offers its audience a wealth of information in an easy, accessible manner.
