Burj Khalifa - Dubai, United Arab Emirates


The tallest building on Earth, the Burj Khalifa's observatory sits 452 meters into the sky (the building itself is 828 meters tall). At 452, meters, you are at nearly the same elevation of Maine's Cadillac Mountain (466 meters), which is the highest point on the Atlantic coast of the United States.


It's the perfect place to conquer your fear of heights.
