10 odd things that are surprisingly true about Dubai – You need to read this if you’re planning on traveling there (With Pic)

3 Some Burj Khalifa Residents Have to Fast Longer

A building that we’ve already brought up in this list, you’ll have to forgive us but we think there are endless fascinating facts about the Burj Khalifa. Standing at an astounding 2,722-feet tall, it is so tall that there are 160 floors of residential space. Living that high up has an interesting side effect if you choose to fast. A practice that involves abstaining from eating until the sun goes down, people that live on the 150th floor or up experience sundown later and must wait longer to break their fast.

4 Police Drive in Style and Speed

An area that is well-known to have an incredible amount of sports cars, if you are charged with policing drivers with insanely fast vehicles you can’t rely on everyday police cruisers. That said, the idea that there are Dubai cops that drive cars like the Aston Martin One, Bentley Continental, and BMW i8 while on duty blows us away. Still, they are somehow dwarfed by the cop’s Bugatti Veyron, a vehicle that can hit 250 miles/hour in the right situation.

5 There are lots of Cranes

Already a city with one heck of a skyline, the builders of Dubai are far from finished and there seems to be new buildings going up all of the time. With that much work going on, we feel very confident saying that any construction business in the area that is good at its job is bound to be able to take on as much work as they like. The best possible indication of that, at various times as much as 20% of the world’s cranes were located in Dubai.
