40 OF THE MOST BIZARRE THINGS YOU WOULD ONLY EVER FIND IN THE EMIRATE OF DUBAI

TRENDING MAY 28, 2023


24K MAGIC



The wealthy habitants of Dubai do not play around when it comes to customizing
their assets. 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.
