Brownbook
An Urban Guide to the Middle East
Bi-Annual
Dubai, UAE
In English, with translations in Arabic
This excellent publication out of Dubai is all about the culture of the Middle East, both within its boundaries (think Northern Africa through Saudi Arabia, to Pakistan), as well as the diaspora across the globe. Free of politics, the focus is squarely on the people, places and stories that define this extensive culture. At 300 pages, this fabulously designed as well as curated publication is a joy to hold and completely engrossing to read. If you are from this culture, it will feel like home. If you aren’t, it will expand your horizons. Open your mind, and give it a try!
