While there is a myriad of guidebooks on the market for just about every country in the world, the beauty of the Explorer Mini Visitors’ Guides is that they provide the inside story on the destination. With in-depth, on-the-ground research undertaken by experts living in the country or city, the reader receives first-hand knowledge.

The Mini Guides provide knowledge on essentials, exploring, activities, restaurants, bars, shopping and more. They also benefit from detailed area maps and a mini pull out map of the city’s central area highlighting key attractions such as hotels and shopping malls.

Founded in Dubai in 1995, Explorer Publishing started life as a one-man show. As a recently arrived expatriate to Dubai, MD Alistair MacKenzie set out to answer all the questions he had about moving, living and working in a new country. Since then, Explorer has vastly expanded its horizons, with the Visitor’s Mini Guides being one of the company’s latest editions aimed at the curious visitor. Currently covering Dubai, the GCC area, and numerous countries across the globe, the new Mini Guide editions include Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York and Sydney. Explorer Publishing has firm plans for even further expansion.
