If the road is still under construction will it go even further up then?
Is this the same place as the new longest zip line in the world?

Whether they get built or not, or are utterly ludicrous, I love that the UAE comes up with these bonkers-sounding building projects. There is some imagination and creativity at play and I like the chutzpah.

It's part of the surreal fun of living here.
