Dubai City Guide

We all know that you can find the most expensive cars in Dubai, some of them pimped and some of them as stock but what it really amazes me is letting Ferrari’s , Mercedes Benz’s or even BMW’s in a place full of dirt and dust. Enjoy the photos below

As you can see from the photos above, its a BMW M6 which costs approximately $120,000 so, whoever owns that car and doesn’t want it anymore, you can send it as a present for our blog (contact [at] dubai.al)

Below is another picture of a Mercedes Benz, S-Class , even though an old model, its still considered the “queen” of Benz

Last but not least, check out this Ferrari F40 which seems in a miserable state. I don’t understand, are people in Dubai throwing expensive cars in trash!?

The real answer why many cars are really dirty its because of the massive amounts of sand, hence cars must be washed even 3 times in a day!
