Residents of Dubai, great fans of quenching thirst, occupy leading positions in drinking water in the country (220 liters per year per person). Nevertheless, water in Dubai is not a cheap pleasure: the price per bottle reaches 2DHS (dirham), it's about 0, 6 USD. It turns out that water in the UAE is more expensive than gasoline!

In Dubai, desalinated seawater flows from the faucets, the locals (not counting the rich lucky ones who are jamming the "Perrier") drink it just a little sumnyashes. But, in order to avoid poisoning, tourists are advised to buy bottled water.
