From the most magical garden in the world to the most insane desert activities you could ever wish for, the following are the top 5 most unbelievable things you’ll only find in Dubai, a city with a strong reputation for being over the top in everything they do.
1.) Super bus
This ambitious project involves sustainable mobility with futuristic looks and luxurious design. You may call it a hybrid between a regular bus and a train. It is a new electronically powered vehicle capable of going to speeds up to 155 miles per hour. Dubai is planning on building a brand new lane on the highway just for the super bus. This vehicle is not only aimed to be cheaper than a train but also, the infrastructure would be more affordable.
2.) Artificial Island
Known as Palm Jumeirah, this artificial island in the shape of a palm tree within a circle, can only be found in Dubai. As large as over 1380 acres it can be seen from space. It is the site of many luxurious residences and hotels. This island was built by adding sand and rocks to the ocean, which means they both start eroding the moment they get in water. This was a battle against nature, which makes it one of the most ambitious projects of all time.
3.) World’s first temperature controlled in-door city
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Makhtum has unveiled the plans for this crazy project. Known as The Mall of the World, this 48 million square foot project will not only be the world’s largest but also the first in door temperature controlled city.
Inside there will be 100 hotels, serviced apartment buildings, a cultural celebration center capable of hosting 15000 people, a temperature controlled retail street network, a theme park, an 8 million square foot mall and a hospital. This city is expected to draw over 180 million visitors annually.
4.) World’s first gold dispensing ATM
The Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi has a gold ATM in their lobby and it is the first one of its kind. Gold prices keep changing and the ATM updates the prices every hour on its own.
5.) Exotic pets
The internet is full of pictures and videos of Sheikhs and princes of the United Arab Emirates posing with their lions and taking tigers to public beaches. Owning such exotic pets is considered a symbol of wealth and status.
