Uber driver turns car into 1BHK on wheels, wins hearts online

Gulf News30-04-2025

A woman's Uber ride has gone viral after she shared photos of an unusually well-equipped car that felt more like a cozy one-bedroom apartment than a cab. Posting on X, she wrote, ' Literally travelling in a 1BHK today. Hands down the coolest Uber ride ever! '
The images revealed an impressively organised interior that left social media users stunned. The driver, Abdul Qadeer, had transformed his car into a passenger's paradise — complete with cold drinks, snacks, tissues, basic medicines, toys, and even a mini dustbin. Shelves and holders were neatly attached to the front seats, making every item easy to access.
From chocolates and biscuits to toothbrushes, umbrellas, and tablets like Digene and Disprin, the car was stocked like a mini convenience store on wheels. Each item was labelled with care, offering comfort, convenience, and a touch of creativity during the commute.
In one photo, a donation box for children's education hung behind the passenger seat. Just above it, a sign proudly displayed that free Wi-Fi was available in the car, with the password written out for riders.
The car even included a feedback diary, inviting passengers to share their thoughts both offline and on the Uber app.
A motivational Urdu quote added a poetic touch:
' Musalasal gham uthane se kahin behtar hai kinara kar liya jaye kinara karne walo se.' (' It's better to distance yourself from those who constantly bring sorrow. ')

Emirates adds a third daily flight to Barcelona from Dubai

If Barcelona is on your travel radar (and honestly, why wouldn't it be?), Emirates just made getting there a whole lot easier. Starting Sunday, October 26, the airline is adding a third daily flight from Dubai to the Spanish city to meet growing demand — giving travellers even more flexibility when planning their next European escape. With this new addition, Emirates will now operate 21 weekly flights between Dubai and Barcelona, offering departures from DXB at 3.45am, 8.15am, and 2pm. On the return leg, flights will take off from El Prat Airport (BCN) at 3.10pm, 3.30pm, and 8.25pm. Known for its dreamy beach promenades, vibrant culture, and legendary architecture, Barcelona is a go-to year-round — and this expanded service is perfectly timed for autumn travel season. However, if Spain is not on your list of 'must visit' destinations this year – you don't have to leave the UAE to experience some Spanish culture – just checkout out What's On's curated list of experiencing Spain (and other countries) right here in Dubai, no passport needed. Tickets for the new flight are available now on the Emirates App, or through travel agents and Emirates retail outlets. Fly, then ride: Emirates partners with Uber On top of the added flights to this route, Emirates has also teamed up with Uber to make your journey smoother from door to door. Frequent flyers will soon be able to earn Skywards Miles on Uber rides in select markets — and redeem Uber ride vouchers when booking Emirates flights. It's all part of a wider push to make every leg of your trip — from home to airport to destination — seamless and rewarding. > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
