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:
1. Snow in the middle of the desert
Coz everybody needs to cool down in 50 degree weather.
2. Lamborghini police cars
You’ll probably get yourself in trouble just to get locked up in this car.
3. An unintentional parade of Range Rover Sport on Jumeirah Road
Coz these cars come at the very affordable price of 400,000 dirhams
4. Friday prayer on Kite Beach
Tolerance and co-existence takes a whole new meaning in this photo
5. Camels crossing the road
The "desert ship" still roams happy, wild and free in some parts of Dubai
6. Waiting for peacocks to clear away so you could get to work
People who work in Emirates Towers will know exactly what I’m talking about
7. Gold ice cream for 3,000 dirhams a cup
I mean we can all spare some change to try this, right?
8. Happiness gets its own minister
Yes, it’s our dream job too!
