Dubai is a place where extremes become normal, and oddities become part of the lifestyle. These are the thing that make Dubai special, and make our lives in it more interesting and colorful.

So in case you got used to some of these odd and unusual things, here’s a reminder of 13 thing that happen only in Dubai and nowhere else in the world:
