This city really does resemble a garage sale compared to Vegas. Be prepared; in Dubai, an amazing Tuesday is just another one.
13. Earth Car Planet
Even by Dubai's ridiculous standards, you won't believe this one, so hold onto your seats. Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan, the Rainbow Sheikh, has built an automobile that is quite extraordinary. Imagine this: a globe-shaped, driveable vehicle that is a precise 1:1,000,000 scale model of Earth. No, this is not a dream or something out of a science fiction movie; this movable sphere exists!
But there's still more! This earth-on-wheels has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a fully functional kitchen, in addition to a steering wheel and a few seats! It resembles a Harvard graduate-level RV. Using this technical marvel, The Rainbow Sheikh traverses Dubai's vast deserts in the manner of a travelling global ambassador. He also maintains a free museum for the public, where he showcases his stunning collection of cars. The Globe Car demonstrates that in Dubai, where extravagance is the norm, the possibilities are endless!
