7 Weird Things You Will Only See In Dubai Hi there!
As we all know UAE is full of rich people and most of them live in Dubai.
Sometimes these indecently rich individuals do things that a simple man doesn’t understand
– he wouldn’t even think of such things!
In other words Dubai is a dream city that has so much money that people living in it
don’t know how to spend it!
Today you will learn about 7 weird things you will only see in Dubai.
1.
We usually use air conditioner during summer when it s hot outside.
The weather in Dubai is very hot all year round and that is why air conditioners are
a necessity in Emirates.
They have them everywhere, even on the streets, bus stops are equipped with air conditioning
for God`s sake!
You can even get free Wi-Fi at the bus stop in Dubai, pretty cool, huh?
2.
Greyhound racing, horse Racing, even cockroach racing isn’t exactly something extraordinary
these days.
But what about robot-jockey-camel racing!?
You didn’t expect that, did you?
It’s a pretty unique show, and most importantly its safe!
Camels aren’t exactly polite animals.
Any excuse and they will throw you off their backs.
Often people were seriously injured after such events.
But today robot jockeys are a lot more popular and they cost quite a lot of money too.
It ll be about 5-6 thousand dollars for a jockey.
You supposed to control the robot with a distant control interface.
Robot sets the direction and even whips the camel.
And that s how humans slowly but surely becoming obsolete.
I hope they won’t replace football players with robots, although lets be fair, some teams
could use a few.
3.
You know how often couples walk on the street, holding hands and kissing.
Well, you can rarely see that in Dubai, because it is actually against the law to demonstrate
your feelings publically.
You can’t kiss when there are people around.
They cant put you in jail for that.
Not for long but still.
That’s pretty savage.
I guess if you re lucky you ll just be deported.
As we started talking about relationships it s worth mentioning that women in Emirates
have much less rights than men.
There were cases when female tourists came to Dubai calming that they were raped.
And they only were sent to prison.
That’s pretty bizarre.
4.
Golden bars vending machine.
We usually buy chips, chocolate or drinks from these things.
Obviously all that you can find in Dubai too.
But some vending machines sell golden bars!
If you happened to have a couple of thousand dirham in those pockets of yours, then you
can easily buy a bit of gold.
On the other hand if you don’t have any money at all and you re really hungry, there
are special shelves with free food in most city`s supermarkets.
5.
The highest tennis court in the world is in Dubai.
It s on the top of Burj Al Arab building.
On its helipad to be more precise.
321 meters up there.
The first people who played there were Andre Agassi and Roger Federer.
I wouldn’t say its too comfy, but it sure gives players emotions.
This court was once a place for golf too, not to mention the formula 1 drift.
6.
People who live in big cities know about traffic jams.
But have you guys ever been in a traffic jam in Dubai?
It s pretty different from what we re used to.
Imagine a row of coolest cars ever.
Now add a thousand more to that row.
All of those are supercars and all of that in the middle of the road.
Even the traffic jam doesn’t seem all that bad anymore, huh?
And if you re tired you can just leave on a chopper like that.
There was one guy who spent tons of money to create a kind of super-jeep.
The car was made out of two SUVs.
It takes quite a bit of room on the road.
Its got six wheels, four of which are where they are supposed to be and there are two
more in the middle, they maintain the wide frame loaded with the weight of two engines.
Unfortunately nobody knows any details about this massive construction, its weight or fuel
consumption of this monster.
7.
Bentley police.
Since we started mentioning cars, we should mention the local police that surfs the city
on their marvelous cars - Bentely, Ferrari , Lamborghini and there s more…
Police vehicles in Dubai are exceptional and there s nothing like it.
It s the collection of the fastest, luxurious world famous cars.
The idea belongs to Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoumou.
The guy must be loving fancy cars.
As you probably deducted, many people in Emirates live the life of luxury.
Did you know that the government is actually paying for medical services and education.
Moreover, they ve got great jobs with fine salary and absolutely no taxes.
That s impressive!
So what was the most peculiar thing guys?
