18. Boxing On A Rooftop
If you thought boxing was all about sweaty gyms and dingy basements, think again. In Dubai, you can throw punches in style. The Sofitel The Palms Dubai hotel offers a boxing gym experience like no other—on a rooftop, no less! For $80, you get a one-hour session with a pro trainer, and the backdrop for your jabs and uppercuts is the Dubai skyline. Now that’s what you call a knockout setting.
Of course, if you’re just after the prestige of saying you’ve boxed on a rooftop overlooking one of the world’s most glamorous cities, you can simply rent the ring for $15 an hour. Just a heads-up—this gym is a hot ticket. People usually book months in advance to secure a spot. So if you want to train or just show off in this high-altitude ring, better plan ahead.
