Skypools & Ziplines
Exciting first day in Dubai with our friends Eric & Kathie (they are visiting for the week). Above is the Aura Skypool where we spent the afternoon. It is the highest infinity pool in the world on the 50th floor (656ft/200 meters). It sits atop the St. Regis Hotel in the middle of the Palm Jumeirah. It has a bar/restaurant in the middle with the pool circling the perimeter. 360 degree views! Beautiful sunset at the end of the day!

Earlier, Julie and Kathie braved the heights and did the XLine Dubai zipline near our apartment in the Marina. It is the longest urban zipline in the world (1km), starting at the 44th floor (170m/558ft) They travelled at 55mph before landing safely atop the Dubai Marina Mall. Below is the launch pad on the top of the building . . . .
So so spectaculair..enjoy
