Dubai, the largest United Arab Emirates city, is well-known for its luxurious shopping centers, modern architecture, and exuberant night scene. It is no secret that the locals live extravagant lifestyles, with their supercars and exotic animals as domestic pets.
There are currently 26,000 millionaires living in Dubai, the second-largest number in the Middle East after Turkey. The amount of wealth swimming in the UAE has spawned many bizarre inventions, and that is why we are diving into the weird and wonderful things that you may find in this beautiful city.
Wide Cars
The wealthy are partial to customizing their valuables, and this includes their vehicles, too, usually a paint job or modifying the engine. However, here we have a rare view of what seems like two jeeps stuck together side by side.
This crazy SUV requires a lane and a half to cruise down the road, which seems impractical, although it can carry four passengers in the front and four in the back row. Whether it is realistic to own a car like this, it is certainly a talking point when you have guests.
Gold ATM
Where would the first-ever gold ATM hail from? Dubai, of course! The vending machine is not made of this dense metal, but it dispenses small golden bars as an ATM does with cash. The machine was unveiled at a hotel in Abu Dhabi in May 2010, attracting many visitors within the first few minutes of opening.
The ATM is German-created and displays a live display of the rates. It has been placed in one of Abu Dhabi’s most luxurious hotels, “Emirates Palace Hotel,” which distributes one, five, and ten grams worth of bars.
Unique Motorcycles
Many wealthy locals who live in Dubai can afford the luxury of modifying their vehicles. It holds a special kind of power status to others, from gold-plating your auto to doubling up the size of an SUV, as seen previously.
This gentleman decided to take his custom horse-themed motorcycle out for a spin. He has opted for a unique design and even wore a matching outfit. It isn’t unusual to see bizarre vehicles out in this city, though we think this one may have gathered quite a bit of attention.
