1Craziest Facts About Dubai
- The craziest and strangest thing about Dubai is
that it was not even a properly maintained city
until the late 1960s. The city was pretty much
desert and few buildings. So, it is not hard to
believe that it is built artificially, which is
even more interesting. A fully air-conditioned,
modernly built city with the biggest skyline of
the world in the middle of a desert is a wonder.
2The Gold used in Burj Al Arab
- The interior of the Burj Al Arab is decorated
with around 1,790 square meters of 24-carat gold
leaf. With that you could cover 46,265 Mona Lisa
paintings.
3The number of cranes in Dubai
Dubai is still growing fast. So fast that roughly
24 percent of all cranes are located in Dubai. No
wonder Dubai Is growing at a crazy rate, we can
surely see why now.
4The sand in man-made Palm tree Island
It does not take a genius to understand that many
of Dubais attractions are man-made. One of which
is a man-made island which has a shape of a Palm
tree. You must be thinking this is the crazy
part. But it is not. Its the quantity of sand
which is used to fill up the entire island.
Believe it or not, it took a massive 94 million
cubic meters of sand to construct the Palm island.
5In Dubai robots are replacing illegal child labor
in camel racing
- Camel racing is a very popular sport in Dubai,
similar to what football is to the USA and hockey
to Canada. - Given the camels size, only children can
participate in racing them. Instead of allowing
Dubai residents children to participate, there
has been a problem in the past with having
children illegally trafficked into the country to
race camels. - Leave it to Dubai to come up with a solution.
Now, child-sized robots are being built and are
racing the camels. They cost anywhere from 300
to 10,000
6Dubai is building a climate controlled city
2.25 times the size of Monaco
- Dubai is planning to build a completely climate
controlled city which will be 4.45 km² in size
with air-conditioned boardwalks connecting the
various sections. Monaco has an area of only 2.02
km².
7Until recently Dubai had no addresses, no zip
codes, no area codes and no postal system
Due to the rate at which Dubai has been growing,
it never developed a standard address system.
Instead of an address line on a mailing label,
there was a space where residents could draw a
map or write out specific instructions such as
After you pass the white mosque, its the first
street to the left, blue door.
