I trust that there is no jet lag either?

At least there's no customs to check your bags.

I wonder if you have to book in an hour before the fight?

Worlds highest Tennis court!!


The world’s highest Tennis court stands atop the fourth highest and the only 7 stars hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab in Dubai. The tennis court is circular in shape ,and also doubles as a helipad, hovering 1000 feet above the Arabian gulf. In preparation for the Dubai Duty Free Men’s Open, On February 22, 2005, the Burj al Arab hosted Andre Agassi and Roger Federer to play a match on their helipad tennis court before heading to the $1 million championship. The tennis legends couldn’t resist the temptation to have a friendly ‘hit’ on the world’s most unique tennis court.

Burj Al Arab is the world’s most luxurious hotel, standing 321 meters high on a man made island, it was Designed by Tom Wright and completed in 1999. The hotel’s helipad, which is situated 211 meters high covers a surface area of 415 square metres.

Tibetan Bridge in Claviere, Piedmont, Italy!!

Who dares to walk on the longest Tibetan Bridge in the world! One of the three bridges suspended over the San Gervasio Gorge (Val di Susa) for almost 470 meters (1,540 feet). The gorge in some places is almost 100 meters (330 feet) deep. The walkway has four ropes, 1440 steel steps and suspended 30 meters (100 feet) above the ground.

The set of bridges go between the towns of Claviere and Cesana Torinese in Italy. From Cesana Torinese the Piccola Dora valley narrows between the slopes of Sagnalong and Chamberton forming a wild and spectacular to take a walk - don't worry too much since you will be using a safty harness.

Open every weekend from mid May to September. Every day the first Saturday of July to the first Sunday of September. For children, the minimum height is 1m 20cm (3 feet 1 inch).
