This little oasis is the birthplace of the word ostentatious, and for that we celebrate the things that could only happen in Dubai.
For some reason, this Jeep has a Siamese twin.
I have never personally been to Dubai, but I have seen the second Sex and the City movie enough times to have a general idea of what it’s like (even though, as I am aware, that was Abu Dhabi). You can’t look at photos of Dubai and not think it is an absolutely gorgeous place, because even from an aerial view it looks like a damn lotus flower. When you get a little closer, you find that there is a lot more than meets the eye with Dubai (and by a lot more, I mean a lot more money). Yes, Dubai is basically the place where money seems to be worshipped (Golden calves have been transformed into Golden cars and jewelry), and good taste has an entirely different meaning. If you don’t believe me, take a look at these things that could only really exist in Dubai.
Also, if you were wondering, all the things pictured below ARE legal in Dubai… but the following things are totally illegal:
- Sex outside of marriage. Don’t do that, penalties for this are potentially as bad as public hanging.
- Being the victim of a sexual assault. Even if it wasn’t your fault and you totally got drugged, Dubai says you’re a dirty criminal and deserve to be punished. Expect serious jail time.
- PDA. Public displays of affection are completely illegal, even at expat bars. If you’re found kissing your spouse, that’s still totally illegal because you had the balls to do it in public and f-up the local ecosystem. Jail time, punk. And no, there’s no floating tennis court in jail.

The only time tennis was considered a dangerous sport.
If you can’t find a husband, why not look in the newspaper?
Yes, this phone is $45,000. No, you can’t afford it.
Even cops ride around in style.
The most costly traffic jam, ever.
Because if you have a lion as a pet, you have to ride it.
