The main synonym for Dubai is exclusivity. You won’t surprise anyone here with expensive things, it is important to have something that no one else has. This rule also applies to pets. Here, it is in the order of things to have a cheetah, tiger or lion as a pet. Many Dubai residents post photos and videos of predators on social media. Seeing a cheetah sitting in the front seat of a luxury car isn’t a problem either, though. 

However if you are not yet ready to get yourself such an exotic pet to feel like a Dubai, then you can definitely rent a luxury car or take a land cruiser for rent and, perhaps, see a wild animal in the front seat in the next row on the road. Moreover, renting a car in Dubai has become an incredibly affordable and fast service. It may not be a good idea to hire a car and drive a lion in it, but car rental representatives will help you choose the most unusual and suitable car for you to make your driving experience unforgettable.
