WORLD’S HIGHEST TENNIS COURT

 
 
 









By now you’ve likely heard all about the incredible feat of architectures in Dubai, well, there’s more! Leave it to the incredible architects and engineers behind the Burj-al-Arab, the fourth tallest hotel in the world, to develop an outdoor tennis court nearly 700 feet above the ground. The circular court doubles as a helipad when there aren’t any bouncing balls around. Famous tennis players, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer were invited to play a match on the world’s highest tennis court while they were visitant Dubai for a tournament in 2005 – turns out they started whacking balls off the court after they got bored of playing a game (can’t say we wouldn’t do the same). The building boom in Dubai continues to take the world by storm, to those who are lucky enough to be able to afford a stay in the hotels’ opulent suites, we say, like, WHOA, you must be really rich.
