{"product_id":"9789953972039","title":"Only in Dubai: An Essential Guide to the Emirate's Expats","description":"Dubai’s reputation as a scorching cosmopolis of staggering skyscrapers, mile-long shopping malls, and insanely luxurious living is well-deserved. Fresh off the plane, you can’t help but marvel at it all, the alacritous efficiency, fabulous food, and the  well-earned and long-time-coming respect at work. But whether you’re just passing through the emirate, or staying for one year or five, for work or for play, one thing is certain: You are definitely going to run into the legendary expatriate community flooding in from every corner of the planet.  'Only in Dubai: an Essential Guide to the Emirate’s Expats' is a collection of Dubai’s one-of-a-kind expats, from the jet sleek Jumeirah Janes and prolific Palm Posers to the vaguely lost Third Culture Kids. The Yo-Yo Dieters are desperately trying to resist the city’s abundant all-you-can-eat buffets, while the chronically traveling Transients are never even around long enough to pull up  a pew at sundowners. Written by award-winning British-Lebanese writer and journalist Sophie Robehmed, 'Only in Dubai' is a light-hearted and touching tribute to the city that she called home for a year.","brand":"Turning Point","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185457676528,"sku":"9789953972039","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789953972039_p0.jpg?v=1763694517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789953972039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
