7 superlatives Dubai knows all too well

There’s a love relationship between Dubai and everything that ends with "est" – to the point that Dubai might someday be called Dubaiest – since Dubai always thrives to have the biggest, the best, the fastest, the tallest … etc.

Here are a few examples that prove this point.

This one is an obvious one of course, with Burj Khalifa being the highest tower in the world. Can Bob the Builder fix a taller building than this? No, he can’t. Bob is a smart guy … be like Bob.

Prada? Check. Louis Vuitton? Check. A hyper market? Check. A movie theatre? Check. A Gold Souk? Check. An Ice Rink? Check. Oh and why not throw an underwater zoo and an aquarium while we’re at it?

I’m not just talking about Burj Al Arab or Atlantis. Even with the budget hotels or the two, three and four star hotels, Dubai presents a level of fanciness that makes us spoiled for choice and kind of ruins any other hotel experience we might have somewhere else.

Because dogs and cats are too mainstream to have. Why not have a cheetah for a pet? They’re basically cats, you know … big ones. Who might or might not eat you, but hey! Those Instagram followers are worth it.

A 4x4 with each wheel bigger than a mini cooper? A gold coated Audi R8 super car? Nope. What has to be the best in our list is the "desert ship." The one and only: the one humped Camel!

Dubai’s coastline and high towers provide the perfect combination to have extreme sports like base jumping and water gliding. But why stop there when you have a desert filled with sand dune that allow you to do all kinds of other extreme sports? Sandboarding, sand kiting and of course, dune bashing. Can we maybe consider quicksand diving?

Even though we might enjoy getting our pictures taken, none of us really enjoys THAT picture while driving 121 km/hour on Sheikh Zayed Road. We just want to make it to that parking before it gets packed ... And don’t even get me started on those portable radars!
