Wealth expands the imagination-this is only available in Dubai.

In the past decades, Dubai has developed into one of the most advanced cities in architecture and technology in the world. People living in Dubai like the more luxurious things in life.

Dubai attracts celebrities such as Robert De Niro and Kardashian, as well as almost all online celebrities on Instagram. The city's GDP is 654.38+008 billion US dollars, and it has many scenic spots, such as resorts, marine life parks, skyscrapers and artificial islands. This ultra-modern building is in sharp contrast with all the natural animals and plants in the UAE.

Dubai people can enjoy everything from golden desserts to exotic pets. As long as there is enough money, there is nothing that UAE people can't buy. Here are some hidden pleasures in life that you can find in Dubai.

1. waterwheel, price: 65438+350,000 USD.

Although WaterCar is an American company, actually headquartered in Southern California, it is very popular in Dubai. WaterCar specializes in the production and development of luxury amphibious vehicles. The company was founded in 1999 by Dave? Established in March. Inspired by Amphicar (another amphibious luxury car) in 1960s, he developed WaterCar.

The first commercial waterwheel was launched in 20 13, when WaterCar released Panther. Although Sheikh Hamdan Ben Mohamed Aller Allermark Marktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, owns six such amphibious vehicles, the latest amphibious vehicle is only priced at $65,438+$3500, which has become a popular accessory in Dubai, and is not only popular among high-end people.

When the vehicle speed approaches 10 miles per hour, the hydraulic off-road suspension will retract the wheels. In less than 15 seconds, the transition from land transportation to sea transportation can be completed, and vice versa. Once the transformation is completed, the speed of these "Bond" cars in the water can reach 60 miles per hour.

2. undersea hotel, lowest price: $6,295 per night

Dubai is most famous for its high-rise buildings and artificial islands. There are also several hotels in Dubai that allow guests to stay in undersea hotel rooms. The most common one is located in the Ambassador Lagoon. Guests in the suite can enjoy the spectacular underwater scenery at a huge price. The most famous underwater suite is located in Atlantis, Palm Island.

Neptune and Poseidon are two veritable underwater suites, located in Atlantis, Palm Island, Dubai. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, people can observe more than 65,000 kinds of marine life inhabiting the lagoon at close range.

However, if you want to stay in an underwater hotel, you should be prepared to spend some money. A night in an underwater hotel in Dubai costs at least $3 14, which is even more expensive than some of the best hotels in America. The cost of staying in some of the most luxurious underwater hotels is as high as $25,000.

3. Robot camel racer

Before 2004, there were many human rights problems in camel racing in UAE, including using young children as jockeys to participate in the above competitions. The UAE's solution is to ban all human jockeys in 2004 and replace them with robots. These robots are made of aluminum frames, which can transmit the heart rate and running speed of camels to the competition team observing camels from a safe distance. The operator of the robot travels along one side of the track in a separate vehicle while operating the remote control device.

On the camel racing track in the United Arab Emirates, the use of robot jockeys has prevented countless injuries and countless human rights violations. Not to mention, they also look cool. With the passage of time, robot camels have improved a lot. Although the development started from 200 1, it took four years to hold the first competition. These robots must be modified to adapt to the harsh desert terrain and hot weather.

4. Helicopter taxis for cars

If drivers around the world have one thing in common, it is their frustration with traffic jams. Nothing gives drivers more headaches than staring at the rear bumper of the car in front of them for hours on end. In Dubai, they found a solution to the traffic problem.

You can see helicopters and taxis hovering over Dubai, transporting the cars of the rich and famous from one place to another. People who live in Burj Khalifa can regularly see these helicopters and taxis flying over the city.

The project started on 20 17, and thanks to a German startup, the company signed a contract to become the world's first air taxi service company. 18 rotor AATs is provided by Volocopter. For a group of six people, the taxi fare is about $0/44 per person/kloc, which is not cheap.

5. Lamborghini police car, value: $545,000.

As there are a large number of elite cars in Dubai, it seems that seeing police riding around in fashionable cars is more out of necessity than for entertainment. Police in Dubai often patrol the streets of Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini, which is much more frequent than people think.

Lamborghini Aventador is a distinctive police car. Drivers in Dubai can accelerate from 0-60 miles to 220 miles in 3 seconds. No wonder they seldom try to overtake.

Being away from Crown Vic and being stopped by Aventador is definitely an experience. However, this is not the opportunity you want, because speeding tickets are quite expensive in Dubai. According to the data of a website, the fare for slight speeding ranges from $273 to $800.

6. Man-made "world" island, with an estimated value of $654.38+0.6 billion-$20 billion *

Real estate developers in Dubai are always looking for new and creative ways to surpass themselves in every follow-up project. When some countries build airport islands along the coast, Dubai is building a whole new world.

It seems that the construction of the Palm Jumeirah Island is just an exercise in the large-scale project of "World" Island, which is still in progress.

Seen from the air, these islands look like a map of the world. When completed, the "World" will cover an area of 3.7 by 5.6 miles and consist of seven groups of islands, with a total of nearly 260 islands. Each group of islands will represent one of the seven continents, and the area of the islands themselves will be between 654.38+0.5 million square feet and 450,000 square feet.

7. Indoor skiing in shopping malls

Dubai ski elevator developed by Majid Al Futtaim Group was first opened to the public in 2005. Skiing in Dubai, a shopping center in the Emirates, has three elevators to transport skiers to the starting point. This is one of the five cable cars. You can find a 25-story cable car on this indoor mountain.

The difficulty of each course is different. The most advanced course is the first indoor black diamond course in the world. For people who are not familiar with skiing, the black diamond track is always the most difficult and complicated track on the mountain.

For those who don't like skiing or skateboarding, Dubai Ski Resort also has a ski park with more than 30,000 square feet, including an ice cave, snowmobile slides, ice slides, a special snowball fight area and a penguin experience exhibition. In order to provide the best winter weather all year round, the indoor temperature of this ski resort is quite stable, hovering between 30-35 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Elite ambulance

Going to the hospital by ambulance can be a very stressful experience. In Dubai, they found a new way to help relieve the pressure of patients. They used a modified luxury car, equipped with everything people might need to meet their emergency or comfort needs.

Anyone in Dubai is eligible to travel by limousine as long as they have a standard medical plan. All standard plans include the expenses that a person may encounter because he needs to take these luxury ambulances. One of the advantages of taking this ambulance is that there is always room for another person to go to the hospital together.

However, these luxury ambulances are not for those who "urgently need" services. They are not used for gunshot wounds or other serious incidents, nor for ordinary pedestrians. The limousine carries doctors to inform patients who want to go in for further treatment, and these patients are transferred from one side of the emirate to the other.

9. Mustang motorcycle

Luxury cars have become a common sight in Dubai. From Lamborghini to double jeep, UAE people never flinch in personal transportation. If it is not flashy and expensive, it is generally not acceptable.

Recently, another striking wild horse is Avatar, which made its debut at the Royal Auto Show. Avatar Mustang is based on James Cameron's film, which is basically an alienated version of Ford Mustang S550. It remains to be seen whether these exotic wild horses will sweep Dubai like wild horses and motorcycles.

10. Falcon flight

In Dubai, one of the ultimate status symbols of a person is to own a falcon. As the national bird of UAE, Falcon is more respected and treated better than most other countries.

There is no denying that falcon is a magical bird. Because their wings are thin and sharp, they can fly at 200 miles per hour and change direction in the blink of an eye. These extraordinary creatures are also very clever, and their cognitive ability is comparable to that of crows or ravens.

1 1. Mercedes-Benz with diamonds.

Dubai people have been spending money on luxury projects that most people can't reach. This is an art. Dubai cars will certainly attract some people's attention, but the most attractive thing is the Mercedes-Benz with diamonds.

More than 300,000 diamonds were used as stickers on the Mercedes-Benz of Saudi Prince Emir Walid bin Tarad bin Abdul Aziz. As one of the top ten richest people in the world, the price of $4.8 million is more like pocket money for him.

It is reported that just touching this expensive car will cost $65,438+0,000. SL500 was designed for the 50th anniversary of SL500 in 2007. This billionaire-owned car made its debut at the Dubai Auto Show, which is famous for displaying some of the most ridiculous luxury cars on the planet.

12. Gold bar ATM

If you need to spend extra money or buy gold bars to travel in the UAE, don't worry, because there is a special ATM there. Gold ATM first appeared in UAE 20 10.

This machine has 320 different kinds of gold items, selling all kinds of customized coins, and all kinds of gold bars weighing 24k (worth about 1.46 million US dollars), which are sealed with plastic when distributed.

For those who are worried about the latest price or someone breaking into one of the machines, these concerns are reasonable, but they are completely unnecessary. Every minute, the price will be updated through an encrypted Internet connection. In order to prevent theft, the gold is equipped with a camera to record every transaction. It was made into an armored vehicle and tested with explosives.

13. actual bat chariot

Dubai is a good place for those who want to break away from the reality of the western world and enter an adult paradise. The city is big, the accessories are gorgeous and the cars are unique.

Walking on the streets of Dubai sometimes reminds tourists of the streets in video games such as "Car Story" or "Grand Theft Auto", because those luxurious and exaggerated cars seem to be the remnants of these games. An example is a real, beautifully shaped bat chariot (although we doubt whether it was driven by Bruce Wayne).

One night in the city, tourists may think that they saw the dark knight himself patrolling the city, but they may be wrong. This may only be a local driving one of several bat chariots sold in the United Arab Emirates. The speed of these knight chariots can reach 150 miles per hour, which is no joke.

14. Gilded Jeep Grand Cherokee

Living in Dubai sometimes feels like a full-time job. Apart from daily work, city residents spend a lot of money to realize their childhood dreams, which seems boring.

Not everyone in Dubai can afford a new Ferrari or Lamborghini. Some people find that they will still buy the more common Grand Cherokee Jeep. However, if the desire to make your Cherokee stand out in the rush hour is too difficult to deal with, it is not a problem at all.

On the basis of the original price, as long as several hundred thousand dollars, jeep drivers can paint the front bumper to the rear bumper with 24K gold paint. The standard price for repainting a jeep ranges from 3000 to 5000 dollars. Add in the cost of expensive gold paint and you may see a cost as high as $65,438+$0,000.

15. Rolls-Royce taxi

Nowadays, with services like Uber and Raffles, we are all familiar with taking a taxi as a convenient way to get from point A to point B. But what would you do if a car worth half a million dollars stopped to take you to your destination? This is not uncommon in Dubai.

To celebrate Dubai Car Festival, Dubai Taxi Service Company added some beautiful luxury cars to its fleet. Among them, you can find Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini and Ferrari taxis to take you anywhere in the city at any time. Dubai people are used to seeing such vehicles, and even the police have a fleet of luxury police cars.

16. Nokia mobile phone with diamonds

With the rising price of smart phones, it is not surprising that some UAE people choose familiar and classic products. Nokia phones are back in popularity in Dubai, not because of their stylish appearance or excellent operating system. Like most other things, it's for their cost.

Nokia Supreme is a luxurious mobile phone with a 12.5-carat pink diamond around its body. The gold-plated iPad will be an eye-catching thing, but the diamond-encrusted mobile phone worth $65,438+7,000 is a symbol of one's status.
