🇦🇪 Surprising & Funny Facts About the UAE
They Changed the Weekend Overnight
Until 31 December 2021, the UAE official working week ran Sunday to Thursday — meaning Friday was the weekend and Monday was… just a regular workday. On 1 January 2022 the government flipped the calendar to Saturday–Sunday off. Hundreds of thousands of people woke up in a new work week without changing jobs.
Dubai Didn't Exist 60 Years Ago
In 1960 Dubai was a modest fishing and pearl-diving village with fewer than 40,000 residents and almost no paved roads. Today it is a city of 3.5 million with the world's tallest building, the longest driverless metro, and the busiest international airport in the world (by passenger numbers). The transformation took less time than a single human lifetime.
Camel Racing with Robot Jockeys
Camel racing is a serious sport in the UAE — prize camels can sell for over $10 million. Since 2004, child jockeys have been replaced by remote-controlled robot jockeys weighing about 27 kg, steered by their owners driving alongside in SUVs. It may be the most surreal motorsport on Earth.
Air-Conditioned Bus Stops
Dubai takes the summer heat (regularly above 45 °C) so seriously that outdoor bus stops are fully air-conditioned glass enclosures. Some shopping malls even have outdoor air conditioning on their terraces. The country also air-conditions several of its outdoor sports stadiums.
Exotic Pets Are Legal (Sort Of)
Until 2017 it was perfectly legal for UAE residents to keep cheetahs, lions, and tigers as pets. Wealthy owners would famously take their big cats for drives in luxury SUVs. A 2017 law banned the private ownership of wild animals — but enforcement stories still make headlines regularly.
The Country Has an Official Happiness Ministry
In 2016 the UAE appointed a Minister of State for Happiness and Wellbeing — one of the first countries on Earth to create such a cabinet position. The Ministry publishes a National Programme for Happiness and Positivity. Whether it works is debated, but the fact that it exists is undeniably cheering.
