One of the most popular is pimping out their rides, albeit wrapped in gold or covered in gems. Remember the Mercedes-Benz we saw earlier? A “Jeep Grand Cherokee” wouldn’t sit in line with Ferraris and Lamborghinis. So to make it stand out, one owner decided to get a 24-karat paint job. Just make sure you wear your sunglasses out in Dubai, as these gold-wrapped motors are sure to reflect a lot of sun in your eyes. EXOTIC PETS Owning an exotic pet in Dubai has long been a status symbol for wealth in the Middle East. This dates back to when Egyptian and Persian royalties owned big cats as a sign of power. Many well-off folks flaunted possessing a baby leopard or a cheetah in their car or boat, even letting them run free on the beach. In 2017 the United Arab Emirates put up a law banning people from owning these wild animals. Officials were concerned about the dangers of these animals running wild. Anyone involved with the ownership and sale of these exotic animals could face jail time or a $136k fine. GOLD ATM Where would the first-ever gold ATM hail from? Dubai, of course! The vending machine is not made of this dense metal, but it dispenses small golden bars as an ATM does with cash. The machine was unveiled at a hotel in Abu Dhabi in May 2010, attracting many visitors within the first few minutes of opening. The ATM is German-created and displays a live display of the rates. It has been placed in one of Abu Dhabi’s most luxurious hotels, “Emirates Palace Hotel,” which distributes one, five, and ten grams worth of bars. CAMEL PARKING Since Dubai is in a desert, sights of domesticated camels would not be out of the ordinary there. So even if this camel may look out of place in a parking lot, they don’t seem to mind being there while their owners run errands. In a wealthy place like Dubai, you may find luxury cars like a Ferrari or a Bentley parked in the middle of the city. Yet, it is not unusual to just buy a camel and park it once you do not need its service. Of course, it is still a funny sight to see. LUXURY BATHROOMS Dubai is well-known for its large grand, designed hotels, and with that comes beautifully laid out opulent bathrooms. The size of your usual bathroom is possibly a tenth of the size in Dubai because they are more like apartments over there. Most people envy the life of the moneyed and are interested to see how the other half lives. One of the world’s most expensive bathrooms hails from the XXII Carat Club Villas in Dubai. It ticks all the high-end boxes boasting a lavish marble interior and a $1-million Amazonian rock crystal tub. Prev Next page ➜ PRIVACY POLICYCONTACT USABOUT USHOMETERMS OF USE
