Dubai's police force drives cars most people can only dream of, like the Aston Martin One-77, which costs around $1. 79 million, the Ferrari FF, which costs a cool half million, and the Lamborghini Aventador for approximately $397,000. Those cars... It's home to the "World's Most Luxurious Hotel" A night in the "cheapest" one bedroom suite at the Burj Al Arab will set you back at least a cool $1,360 (more than $2,000 depending on the season) — a steal compared to the around $20,000+ a night... The city boasts the tallest building in the world — which in turn boasts four world records Only in Dubai could someone decide to simply build a bunch of islands, and then import enough sand to fill the Empire State Building 2. 5 times — and... Billed as the "8th Wonder of the World," it is the world's largest man-made island, cost $12. 3 billion to build, and is made of 3. 3 billion cubic feet of sand. Why have the world's biggest mall when you can have the world's two biggest malls. Source: www.oakridger.com
