It's no secret that Dubai is home to many beautiful and majestic skyscrapers - the prime example being the Burj Khalifa in Downtown. These feats of engineering and human vision are always a sight to behold for both tourists and residents, so much so that the some of us may begin to wonder what it's like to be at the top of these beauties.
Sure you can splurge some money to witness Burj Khalifa's At the Top but what if we tell you that scaling these beauties will cost you nothing at all? Just one exception of course - YOU CANNOT TRY THIS FOR YOURSELF unless you want to be in trouble with the authorities.
Daredevil and freeclimber James Kingston has been making waves on social media for his death-defying feats climbing skyscrapers around the world. His favourite playground you may ask? Dubai.
In his latest video posted last February 10th, 2017 the British daredevil is back at it again as he scaled an under construction skyscraper in what looks like the outskirts of Dubai.

In the video, viewers can enjoy a view of Dubai unlike any other. He's also climbed an industrial crane in what looks like Emirates Road two days prior this feat.

He's also climbed near Jumeirah Lakes Towers some time last year.

James' feats have caused both amazement and concern on the internet especially whenever he's climbing in Dubai. Feats like his are extremely dangerous and any resident or tourist caught doing such feats can land in big trouble with the Dubai Police. In the video below, where he climbs Dubai's Almas Tower, he is seen sneaking through security and obviously trespassing.
