1. The world’s highest rope-climbing platform
I take it. Do you consider yourself an adventure junkie? Have you ever considered climbing ropes at breathtaking altitudes? If the mere thought of scaling ropes at breathtaking altitudes makes your heart race, prepare yourself for the ultimate adrenaline rush: The highest rope climbing platform in the world is located on Bluewaters Island in Dubai. This climbing platform is a part of the breathtaking Ain Dubai, the tallest observation wheel in the world, and it is situated at an incredible height of about 150 metres, or roughly 500 feet for those who are not familiar with measurements. And no, this isn’t just a tourist trap; it’s a brilliant move on the part of the government to demonstrate to the world that Dubai offers thrill-seekers more than just bling and glamour.
This climbing platform, created by Meraas as a component of the enormous $1.6 billion Bluewaters Island project, has been meticulously planned to attract adventure enthusiasts from all over the world. Imagine yourself climbing a vertical jungle while taking in the lavish skyline of one of the wealthiest cities on earth. This is where you test your mettle against gravity while elevated to an almost sky-touching height—forget your average climbing gym. This is the ultimate (literally) rope-climbing platform on the planet, not simply another item to cross off your bucket list. Then, are you prepared for the challenge?
