The highest tennis court in the world

 Tennis Court Height Building Hotel Dubai Burj Arab

Burj Al Arab - one of the world's most luxurious hotels - aside from all the mystique and wealth it's known for, also has the highest tennis court in the world. Its space, located at 210 metres of altitude can also become a heliport for emergency landings or guest traffic.

Another extravagance from this sumptuous hotel, in Dubai, to which very few mortals have access. I confess, even if I was given access to it, I would have some difficulty in running around after a tennis ball at 210 metres above the ground.

Here's a video of Andre Agassi playing with an unknown guest. The view is breathtaking.

Here are some pictures of the interior of this piece of heaven on earth.

That's not any old "unknown" guest. It's Roger Federer.

Wow, that place is breath-taking (especially the picture of the first picture of the entire hotel against the skyline)! I cringed the entire time they were playing tennis; I would be so scared. The last part of the video was hilarious. Thanks for this!
