Dubai police's Lt Saif Sultan Rashed Al Shamsi told Gulf News, "One of the funny stories we have is that a lot of tourists and people here call the Dubai police...on (the emergency number) 999 to ask about these cars. They want to know which location they will be in and how they can find them and take pictures with them."
According to commentators, Dubai generates vast amounts of revenue from tourism, and the fancy cars were also a part of attracting more tourists' attention.
