38. World’s Highest Rope Climbing Platform
So, you call yourself an adventure junkie, eh? Ever thought of climbing ropes at dizzying heights? If your pulse quickens at the thought, then brace yourself for the mother of all adrenaline rushes: Dubai’s Bluewaters Island is home to the world’s highest rope climbing platform. Part of the jaw-dropping Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel, this climbing platform stands at an astonishing height of over 150 meters (that’s about 500 feet for the metrically challenged). Oh, and this isn’t just some touristy gimmick—it’s a masterstroke by the government to show the world that Dubai isn’t just all glitz and glamour but also a playground for heart-pounding adventure.
Produced by Meraas as part of the massive $1.6 billion Bluewaters Island project, this climbing platform has been meticulously designed to attract thrill-seekers from all corners of the globe. Imagine it—ascending a vertical jungle while surrounded by the opulent skyline of one of the world’s richest cities. Forget your run-of-the-mill climbing gyms, this is where you test your mettle against gravity while being high enough to almost touch the sky. This isn’t just another check on your bucket list; it’s the pinnacle (literally) of rope climbing platforms globally. So, are you up for the challenge?
