Most of us are used to having to live with high gas prices, which make our car trips more expensive than we’d like them to be. In Dubai, the situation is actually quite different.
According to “The National,” a local newspaper, after the oil prices collapsed, petrol became incredibly cheap in Dubai. How cheap? So cheap that it costs less than some of the most basic products. It is actually cheaper than water, which is insane.
You Can See The Palm Jumeirah From Space
We have already mentioned The Palm Jumeirah many times, as it is one of Dubai's most impressive accomplishments. But, as if man-made islands in the shape of palm trees weren't enough, there's actually more.

Dating in Dubai
A lot can be said about women and men in Dubai, but one fascinating fact that might make life a little bit harder for the guys of this hot country is that there are 2.3 men for every woman in Dubai.
This is according to data that first saw the light of day in 2019. While it is unclear why this is the case, it's pretty obvious that this makes the dating market a little bit more challenging for men.
Time Differences in the Burj Khalifa
So much has already been said about the Burj Khalifa, but there's no such thing as mentioning it too much! The tall building stretches half a mile into the sky. It holds over 150 floors used for residences. So far, so good, right?
But listen to this peculiar fact, people who live above the 149th floor are so high up in the sky that they see the sun for a longer time than others living in Dubai. This means that during Ramadan, they have to wait longer for the sunset, only then they can break their fast.
