The city unwraps below in shards of glass and light as you step into the harness and approach the 53rd-floor ledge. Wind tugs at clothing and confidence alike; the ledge encircles the tower’s top pod and dares you to look straight down. Burj Khalifa rises across the lake like a rival peak, traffic and fountain jets reduced to a miniature choreography by the time you reach the outer rail.
