Ras Al Khaimah’s Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, is also home to Jebel Jais Flight - the world’s longest zipline as certified by Guinness World Records. This has seen the UAE’s most northern emirate rocket into the major league of global adventure tourism and cementing Ras Al Khaimah as the region’s leading adventure tourism destination.Already established as a bucket list crowd puller and named as the Middle East’s leading tourist attraction in the 2018 World Travel Awards, the 2.83 km long zipline, which was designed and built by adventure specialists Toroverde in partnership with Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, gives thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies the chance to travel at speeds up to 150 kph at a height of 1,680 metres above sea level - the closest experience to flying like a falcon that a human being can get.But the adventure, excitement and open-air freedom goes beyond the zipline experience. The Jeep brand, following announcement of a sponsorship agreement with Toroverde, is now the “on the ground” automotive partner of the world’s longest zipline, ensuring that the adventure begins right from the beginning of the journey with a fleet of the latest Jeep Wrangler models providing highly dependable transport and logistical support.For nearly eight decades the Jeep brand has been indelibly linked to freedom, adventure, authenticity and passion - core values that are embedded in the DNA of every Jeep vehicle. Throughout its history, Jeep owners have learned that “Go Anywhere. Do Anything.” is a way of life, not just a slogan and that the Jeep badge stands for more than just a brand - in truth, it’s a badge of honour.
The world’s first commercial flying car was presented in Geneva this year. The flying car is called the Liberty and PAL-V, a UK-founded Dutch firm, says the car-planehelicopter-thing is a historic breakthrough in the evolution of flying cars. It's not exactly a jet fuel powered car but a three-wheeled flying contraption and the rotors do not go up automatically, rather, there's some manual labour involved. However, the transformation is a quick one and in just 5 to 10 minutes you're all set to take to the sky. The Liberty gets its flying power from a pair of Rotax aircraft engines and has been designed to comply with both road and air regulations in Europe and the U.S. On the road, the PAL-V liberty makes just 100 hp and can travel up to 161 km/h. in flight mode, it can hit a max speed of 180 km/h and has 200 hp. It can transport up to 2 people.
There are some striking similarities between the MacBook keyboard and the ones the one found in the Type Cover for the Surface Pro 4. They are virtually the same size. Neither one feels cramped and both Microsoft and Apple managed to leave a lot of space between the keys. But the Type Cover offers the better typing experience and this is mostly due to travel or “how much the key moves when you type on it.”Apple did its best to invent a new way for keyboard keys to move up and down because there’s so little space under the keyboard. Typing on the MacBook keyboard feels fine, but typing on a Type Cover is an air mattress experience for your fingertips.
