I created a permanent page for the post titled the same.
Since I started gardening I have been constantly looking for information. Along the way I stumbled upon many useful resources. I understand not all of you have the time to surf the web in search of revelant information, after all most of you are working and have other commitments. Below is a list of links for downloads (in pdf format) I find useful for gardening in UAE. And though most of the links are not specific to UAE but for hot climates so with little adaptations you can adjust them to our climate:
