🎲 Fun facts in UAE

A few quirky things about UAE that surprise almost every visitor — small details that explain a lot about how life there actually feels.

In UAE, fun facts comes down to a few things: dubai's police fleet includes supercars, the burj khalifa is so tall it spans multiple temperatures, and there are no income taxes.

Dubai's police fleet includes supercars

Dubai Police own Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bugattis, and Aston Martins. They're used for tourist areas and PR rather than high-speed chases. The fleet is worth millions.

The Burj Khalifa is so tall it spans multiple temperatures

At 828 meters, the top of the Burj Khalifa can be up to 6°C cooler than the base. Residents on upper floors break their Ramadan fast a few minutes later because they can still see the sun.

Tip: Book the observation deck for sunset to watch the sun set twice — once from the ground and once from the top.

There are no income taxes

The UAE has zero personal income tax. This is a major reason it attracts global talent. Revenue comes from oil, tourism, and a 5% VAT introduced in 2018.
