World’s Highest Tennis Court at Burj Al Arab

The world’s highest tennis court stands atop the fourth highest hotel in the world - Burj al-Arab at Dubai. The tennis court is circular in shape and when no session is at play, it doubles as a helipad. The exact height of the tennis court is not known, but the hotel is 321 m (1,053 feet) tall and the court is located very near the top. My guess is, it’s close to 1000 feet.

In 2005, when Roger Federer and Andre Agassi were at Dubai for a tournament, they were invited to play a few rounds at the Burj’s helipad-converted-tennis court.

Amazing happenings-Window cleaner in Dubai

Nerves Of Steel In Dubai

When he spotted a mark on his apartment window, this chap just had to pop out to give the glass a quick wipe with a squeegee. Nothing odd about that – except that he lives 400ft up on the 34th floor of a tower block in Jumeirah Beach, Dubai.

He stepped out on to the narrow ledge and, holding the frame, stretched across to wipe away the annoying smudge.

Ascending 350-Meters High TV Tower


A photoreport from the ascending 350-meters high TV tower somewhere near Galich . The view from it is sometimes really so scaring and breathtaking, that even the photos give the creeps. The photographer and his wife are really foolhardy!
