Dubai, the second largest city of the UAE is the paradise for travelers and anyone who has heard about this city would love to plan a tour to this place. Choosing a perfect hotel for your tour to a city like Dubai is the first important step. A perfect hotel is not the one that is most expensive but it is the one that you afford to stay. Finding a perfect hotel in Dubai is not a difficult job because Dubai has more than 300 hotels and you can select a hotel to plan your stay according to your budget. Tourism is growing in Dubai because of its hotels. The hotels are the main attraction of this city. If you have money then availing facilities is not a problem. The hotel Burj Al Arab is best among the top rated hotels of Dubai.

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!
