We’ve compiled a list of tweets about Dubai that we can all either relate to or chuckle at, reminding us this city really is one of a kind.

Dubai is a very hashtag-worthy city. We’ve all seen the pictures of supercars galore and ridiculous houses, as well as the Instagrams of pet lions hanging out of cars down at JBR (as well as the more recent news of an escaped lioness in Barsha).

However, there’s little that phases Dubai’s more veteran residents anymore. Occasionally one stumbles across a new #onlyindubai moment that’s worthy of a mention, or a tourist’s tweet that tickles us – but for those of who haven’t come across one in a while, we’ve gone and done the legwork for you.

Below you’ll find a list of recent tweets about Dubai that we can all either relate to or chuckle at, reminding us that the city we live in really is one of the more unique places on the planet.

10. This one may be confusing for those of you who haven’t yet realised there are ATMs in Dubai that dispense gold. Unfortunately, taxi drivers get miffed about the change situation when you hand them Dhs100, let alone a gold bar.
