Assouline's Dubai Wonder tours readers through one of the most important metropolises in the Middle East. The silk-bound tome outlines the city's humble origins and charts its rise in becoming a hub of innovation, culture and extravagance. Author Myrna Ayad tells the story of everything from the historic localities of Deira and Al Quoz to the iconic Burj Khalifa, which towers over the skyline. The imagery throughout is exquisite and expertly curated, too.
