Still shook
It’s pretty common in the Khaleej (Gulf) that a plate number be personalised to the individual’s taste or personal memory- so much so that auctions like these have now become a thing.
In other GCC countries, the lesser the number usually depicts a higher monetary value (at which it was priced- perhaps, the same goes for these Dubai plate auctions.)
Still, you can’t help but be surprised at the grandiosity of it all!
