40 Unimaginable and Jaw-Dropping Experiences Only Dubai Can Offer

The Unusual Pastime of Tortoise Stacking

You might think you’ve seen it all, but have you heard of “tortoise stacking” in Dubai? This isn’t one’s everyday balancing act. Local enthusiasts engage in the carefully coordinated art of stacking desert tortoises on top of each other. The goal? Construct the tallest, most stable tortoise tower without causing a slow-motion collapse.

Competitions sprout up in communal spaces, like parks, complete with cash prizes and bragging rights. The pastime captivates both participants and spectators. While seemingly peculiar, tortoise stacking serves as yet another testament to Dubai’s spirit: consistently surprising, ceaselessly innovative, and ever-willing to push conventional boundaries. Don’t confuse it with turtle stacking.
