We’ve all been on holiday and taken taxis to cool locations, but I’d guess most of us don’t take the time to get to know our driver. But that’s exactly what Irishman Liam Murphy did recently while working in the United Arab Emirates.

Murphy called a taxi to take him from Dubai to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. Along the way he got chatting to his driver, Shakiha, and discovered that he’d never been inside the Ferrari theme park. According to Murphy, who posted his story on Facebook, Shakiha was going to wait in the car park until his fare wanted to go home.
