Dubai's Dazzling Dozen: 13 Spectacular Sights Guaranteed to Amaze

4. Navigating supermarkets

Consider food shopping to be a terrestrial activity. In Dubai, supermarkets have transformed into aquatic entities. Welcome to Carrefour Bites & More by the Shore, a floating supermarket that serves you directly on the water. You can get fresh food, drinks, ice cream, hot and cold snacks, and even necessities like sunscreen and medication without ever having to set foot on land, thanks to a variety of things that range in price from $5 to $20.

This unusual floating store was the first "sail-through" supermarket in the world when it opened in 2018. Weather permitting, it is open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Therefore, this sailing store provides everything you need, whether you're jet skiing, boating, or just spending a day on a yacht. It's a handy and unique method to get your necessities while having fun on the ocean, and it services the Kite, Jumeirah, and Al-Sufouh Beaches.

5. Cheetah pets

Cheetahs are pets owned by certain wealthy people in Dubai who like to flaunt their wealth. These large felines may be seen strolling around with their owners or even relaxing in the front seat of a high-end vehicle. But having a cheetah is not only dangerous—it's illegal and can carry heavy fines.

Although owning a cheetah may seem like a great idea, it's not a wise decision. These are deadly wild animals that belong in areas like Africa, not in someone's backyard. Keeping a cheetah as a pet is quite unfair, as it can lead to illness. Thus, it's preferable to let these amazing animals exist unhindered in nature.

6. Nutritious Gold Plates

Dubai lavishes gold on your fork and finger, as if the world didn't have enough! That's correct; meals covered in edible gold are served in a city that never compromises on luxury, elevating cuisine to a sparkling new level. You may eat as much metal as you want, from cappuccinos that shine like a pirate's treasure to gold-dusted burgers and blinged-out ice cream. Don't think that your gold jewellery can be eaten, though; only culinary-grade gold, which has a karat value between 22 and 24, is suitable for ingestion. Are you in the mood for something special?

Trophy Room, the sports bar hidden away in Dubai's Fairmont hotel, offers a package called 'Go for Gold' that is not to be missed if you're a foodie with an eye for the dazzling and magnificent. This culinary adventure offers traditional pub fare with a glamorous twist. Imagine serving golden fries with 24-karat gold-dusted chicken nuggets. You now know where to go if you want to feast like a king or queen!
