The ongoing events in the Middle East have boosted the number of Arab nationals visiting, studying and investing in London. The increase in these numbers have been quite noticeable in the past few years due to the prevailing situation in the area, and the considerable increase of government spending in many Arab countries as a result.
According to the UK office for national statistics, Arab tourists spent on average more than 5 million nights annually with a total expenditure approaching one billion pounds during their stay. Arab students, on the other hand, have become the third largest foreign students group studying in London universities after Chinese and Indian students.
A substantial proportion of both Arab visitors and students are only familiar with very few select places in London, particularly around the Knightsbridge area. Therefore, the Arab Guide to London has been principally designed to give these visitors and students a broader choice of places to visit during their stay, whilst at the same time, keeping them close to their comfort zone.
Moreover, many of the tourists are new comers and have very little knowledge of both the city and the language. Hence, this bilingual guide of What to See, What to Do, Where to Stay, Shopping and Investment in London would serve as an indispensable tool for those wanting to enjoy a short break in the city, and those looking to make a long term investment in it too.
