Things you didn't know and surprising about Dubai. Dubai is always considered one of the most famous cities in the world. If you are looking for information about Dubai, you are in the right place. First of all, let's say to those who ask where Dubai is, it is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf in the Arabian Peninsula. Dubai is a city, not a country.
The population of Dubai is cosmopolitan (multinational). Chances of seeing a Dubai citizen during a trip to Dubai are very low. There's a lot you need to know about Dubai, from a gold-dispensing ATM to Ferrari-driving cops.
1. It is very difficult to meet local people in Dubai
While in Dubai, you are less likely to meet and chat with local people. Most of the people who live in Dubai are expats and people who come here to work, so it is almost impossible to meet a Dubai when traveling here. In addition to the Dubai residents you may see during passport procedures at the airport, you can also meet Dubai citizens in official places.
The majority of the population of Dubai is made up of citizens of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Asia and the West.
2. The world's most luxurious police cars in Dubai
Cops in Dubai can be considered the luckiest cops in the world, because the police cars in the city are quite luxurious! In Dubai, police use Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bentleys to catch criminals faster. In addition, McLaren and Bugatti Veyron were added to the list of police cars in December 2013.
3. Sending a letter
If you want to send a letter in Dubai, you do not need to enter the address there. Thus, each person is registered in a special database and has a 10-digit identifier. You simply enter that identifier and the postal service delivers the letter to its destination.
4. Help from Abu Dhabi
The tallest skyscraper in the world, the Burj Khalifa towers over all the buildings in Dubai, but the Burj Khalifa would not have been completed without the financial assistance of Dubai's neighbor, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It took 6 years to build this amazing building, and 12,000 workers worked every day. The skyscraper can be seen from 80 kilometers away, but watching the sunset from the highest floor of the skyscraper is even more perfect. Shortly before its opening in 2010, the tower was originally called Burj Dubai (literally "Dubai Tower"), but the building was renamed Burj Khalifa in honor of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Emir of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai, in the throes of the financial crisis, was rescued by Sheikh Khalifa with a £6.13bn investment – so the name given to the building was in turn a tribute.
5. The natives are as forgetful as they are rich
If you think Dubai residents aren't using their money enough and have any doubts about it, check out the lost and found money statistics. While walking down the street in Dubai, you might come across a very expensive car covered in dust. So sometimes people forget where they left their car and buy a new car instead. However, the government does not allow abandoned cars to remain on the street for long and places them in abandoned parking lots. In addition, local rich people regularly forget their suitcases or bags full of money or jewelry.
In 2015, a passenger left AED 140,000 (£35,000) in a Dubai Airport toilet. It is true that these funds were later returned to him.
6. The number of men in Dubai is quite large
Did you know that 1.7 million of Dubai's 2.5 million people are men? In other words, almost 70 percent of the population in Dubai are men. According to official census statistics, women make up more than 30 percent of Dubai's population. The reason for the higher percentage of men is due to the fact that most of the immigrants who came here left their families in their homeland.
7. Traditional occupation of Dubai residents
Before tourism, Dubai's livelihood was based on oil. What was Dubai's economy based on before oil? Fishing, farming and the pearl trade were among the main sources of income for the emirate. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 300 pearl diving boats (Traditional Sailing Boats) in Dubai Bay, with more than 7,000 sailors working on each boat. Men were at sea from mid-May to early September. Divers reached the bottom of the sea with the help of a nose clip and a load attached to their waist, and then pulled themselves up with a rope. Pearl business of Dubai residents continued until 1940. In the same year, after the discovery of the method of growing artificial pearls in Japan, the demand for natural pearls in the world decreased significantly.
8. There is an ATM in Dubai that dispenses gold
The Gold ATM at Dubai Mall allows you to buy anything from a 2.5 gram 24 carat gold coin to a gold bar per ounce. There is even a computer inside the machine that changes prices every 10 minutes according to real-time market changes. Looking a little surprising and fun, the gold vending machine is one of the distinguishing features of Dubai.
