1. Burj Khalifa Pinnacle Base jump

 Burj Khalifa Pinnacle Base jump

The mega tall skyscraper Burj Khalifa is definitely something that’ll make you wonder how amazing adventure activities in Dubai are when you’re standing at its highest observation deck on the 148th floor. But think about the view from the 163rd floor – mesmerising, isn’t it? Now imagine jumping off the top floor… imagine your heart pumping blood at a speed proportional to the speed of your fall from the top, while your brain keeps shouting “Oo Yeaaaah!” – Louder as you keep descending. That experience is guaranteed at Dubai, and it will definitely boost your adrenal glands!

As you reach an altitude of 14,000 feet, the helicopter doors are opened. The wind gushes towards you, and amidst the sound of the copter blades, a man asks you to come up to the door.
