47 Crazy Things You Only Find in Dubai

20. Elite Ambulances

Even the ambulances in Dubai are over the top! Unlike any emergency medical service you’ve seen, these ambulances are essentially high-speed supercars. Designed to reach patients as rapidly as possible, Dubai’s fleet includes ambulances that are actually modified sports cars—think Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and even a Lotus! They even use limousines as ambulances to offer a luxurious medical transport experience. Covered by standard medical plans, these limo ambulances aren’t for life-or-death emergencies but provide a lavish transport option for less urgent medical needs. And guess what? You can even bring a friend along for the swanky ride!

Imagine the surprise when, in the midst of a medical emergency, what pulls up isn’t a van with sirens, but a sleek supercar capable of speeds most vehicles can only dream of. These high-speed vehicles are equipped with all the necessary first-aid equipment and staffed by highly-trained medical professionals, ensuring that quality of care is not sacrificed for speed. While the sight of a Lamborghini or Ferrari serving as an ambulance might elicit raised eyebrows in most parts of the world, it somehow feels right at home in Dubai.
