How many of these have happened to you?
If you’re from Dubai, chances are you’ve experienced at least half of this list. If you’re a tourist on the other hand, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to relate to a few…
- You’ve been to Dubai Mall on a public holiday and immediately regretted your decision because it seemed like the whole UAE all met up in one place
- You’ve gotten lost on Sheikh Zayed road and somehow ended up in Festival City (this one might be slightly niche?)
- You know your way around the different malls way too well
- Summer months are for hibernating and having your AC on full blast
- You’ve come out to find your car surrounded by little pink cards advertising a massage
- You’ve gotten lost trying to figure your way around the JBR buildings
- You’ve done your fair share of drive-ins on Jumeirah road
- You’ve eaten one too many Shawarma’s!
- You have your favourite hummus place!
- Camping in the desert has a whole new meaning
- Thursday’s & Sunday’s have a whole new meaning
- People think you’re rich AF as soon as you tell them where you live
- Which, sort of makes sense when you see the crazy cars people drive
- “Winter is coming” is a positive phrase
- You’ve become slightly extra and get called out on it sometimes
- Getting calls from unknown numbers is completely normal (you know it’s always a scam)
- Paying rent is even worse than usual because it has to be done in one go
- You’ve realised how much you took walking for granted 🙁
- The architecture is out of this world
- World Record breaking events are no biggie!
