City guides in the proper sense: cafés, lunch, dinner, bars, stays, training, things to do and where to shop — organised by neighbourhood, written by people who actually go. Every entry is live: hours, ratings, when it’s quiet, and the fastest way to a table.
More cities added as the marketplace opens in each one.
BLACKBOOK is in development and goes live in the UAE in 2027, with the rest of the world to follow. Places, prices, availability and app screens on this site are shown as examples and are confirmed in the app at launch. Businesses named are shown for illustration and are not partners unless stated.
Ambassador figures and examples are illustrative and are not a promise of earnings. Every ambassador is engaged under an individual written agreement, and only that agreement sets their terms. Commission rates, structures and eligibility are subject to change, and BLACKBOOK may review them from time to time — including in light of volumes and programme take-up — on notice under that agreement.
Costs nothing, commits nothing. We’ll only write when there’s something to say.
