Customer Reviews:
Not as good as we'd expected. But competent November 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having used Lonely Planet guide books for years (I guess we've probably used 30-40 of them) this one stuck out for us as not being as good as the usual ones.
I'm a big fan of LP guides, but this one didn't appear to reach the same reliability that others do across Asia/Europe/N America.
Good points: Competently described most areas, and accommodation options. Reasonably up-to-date (but things are changing very rapidly in the region too)
Bad points:
- Lacked good maps for many areas.
- The Oman section appeared to assume (a) you're an expat - all hotel pricing was based on expat prices, and we found it impossible to negotiate to the prices quoted and (b) you've hired a car.
- The UAE section pricing was well out too - but this appears to be because inflation there is causing most prices to increase almost every 3 months.
