Escalators for grocery carts.
Which brings me to another weird thing in Dubai - supermarkets in malls (which brings me to yet another weird thing - me saying supermarket instead of grocery store). Every mall has at least one supermarket, and many have more than one. To avoid traffic jams at the elevators, Dubai has installed grocery cart escalators. The escalators are ridiculously long (so they're not too steep), and the grocery carts have special wheels that stick to the rotating escalator treadmill thingies. Even if you tried with all of your might to push a cart down the escalator, you couldn't.
This may be weird thing #3, but I think it's pretty genius. It definitely makes grocery shopping in Dubai a little bit easier.
