Good-bye, Dubai is based on the handwritten diary of the author, written during his 105-plus days as an inmate in jail in Dubai. In them, he outlines all the manifest problems of the Dubai judicial system, of the corruption of its police, of the kindness that he discovered within the police, and the frustrations that he experienced in trying to extricate himself from an utterly impossible situation. Good-bye, Dubai is a study in how to survive in the most impossible of circumstances without losing one's mind and to still come out of it retaining most of one's sanity.
