Dubai police show off Ferrari

The car sporting the green and white of Dubai Police was unveiled at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It will be used by women police officers to patrol tourist areas of Dubai.

The introduction of luxury Italian cars to the police force is being seen as a sign of economic recovery in Dubai which was badly affected by the 2008 financial crisis which triggered a collapse of the city's real estate bubble. Tourist arrival into Dubai has increased and the growth of traffic on the roads of Dubai also points to a revival but some critics claim this is only because Dubai is a safe haven for people fleeing from turmoil in the region and will only last until Egypt, Syria and Libya stabilize.
