30 Weird Things Only Found in Dubai
Redefining Public Bathrooms With Luxury
Saying that Dubai bathrooms are fancy is an understatement. Interior designers have put much thought into making public restrooms as luxurious as possible. With state-of-the-art plumbing fixtures and sanitary appliances, you’ll be amazed at the lavishness of it all. The premium products are not where Dubai bathrooms’ grandeur ends.
With a fusion of Middle Eastern and Western decor, the breathtaking interior catches your attention. If you plan to visit Dubai anytime soon, don’t forget to check out as many public bathrooms as possible to experience something extravagant. After all, it’s not every day you get to visit a restroom that looks better than your own bathroom!
A Non-Weird Parking Lot
If you find a bike parked in the middle of a car parking lot, you’d be enraged and report it before locating the owner. Now imagine yourself in Dubai witnessing the same thing, but instead of a bike, you see a camel, and if you try to report it, you won’t get what you want.

Camel parking is as common in some parts of Dubai as finding an Arab man wearing a Keffiyeh. You may think it’s different, but it’s not illegal, so you can’t complain if a parked camel gives you the side eye. All you have to do is walk casually past the camel and hope it does not come after you. Kidding!
A Stroll to Remember
Camels are the same as any other pet people would have in different parts of the world. Just like you’d take your dog for a stroll in the park every other day, people in Dubai who own camels take them for a leisurely walk in the desert. It’s a fun pastime and maybe some form of bonding ritual for the owner and the camel.

Emiratis love camels as much as Americans love dogs. As there are no restrictions on buying one, people invest in this rich cultural heritage, but not just to show off. Some actually take care of their animals by keeping them well-fed and taking them out for a stroll.
All That Glitters Is Gold
Well, a lot of things cost more than an iPhone, but if we stay within the confines of telecommunication devices, we’d have to say these gold phones in Dubai can cost a fortune. Luckily for the wealthy royals of Dubai, it’s just another accessory they can buy to add to the collection!

Having gold phones is similar to having any other item made of gold. It’s an investment that increases their assets and provides them with something shiny to show off. Besides, Dubai has the best gold quality in the world! Too bad we can’t afford the gold phones, even if we get our yearly salaries in one payment.
A Cheetah on Leash
Here is something you’ll only find in Dubai—a person casually texting on his phone while driving the car as his pet cheetah sits next to him on the passenger seat. We all know cheetahs as wild animals who belong in the wilderness, but the people of Dubai aren’t so sure of this fact.

They are pretty clear on one thing; if you can buy it, you should buy it! Unfortunately for cheetah lovers and fortunately for haters, the UAE government has banned ownership of wild animals, including cheetahs. Now people are lawfully bound not to parade a wild animal in their car or street.
