The United Arab Emirates is at it again — topping the list of the world’s biggest, tallest, most expensive…well, everything. This time it’s got the world’s longest and highest zip line, beating out current 2,200-metre record holder “The Monster” in Puerto Rico.

It’s located on the UAE’s highest peak, Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah, which is anticipated to be the new hub of adventure tourism in the Middle East.
