Dubizzle, the classifieds listing website, is an online repository for almost everything you can imagine, from the rare and exotic to the mundane and ubiquitous.
As The National reported yesterday, a limited-edition limousine owned by the former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat is up for grabs for Dh400,000 on the website. A gift from the US president Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, the car, which is currently in Cairo, does not have bulletproof glass, but is fitted with electric windows and an AM-FM radio.
Dubizzle is no stranger to such unusual adverts. This month a 300-plus seater Airbus A340-542 Prestige went on sale with a price tag of Dh150 million. A year ago, a Boeing 747 was sold for Dh203 million through the website. What could pop up next? Perhaps the train that Abdulmecid II, the last Ottoman caliph, took from Istanbul almost a century ago.
