The stomach churning attraction was modelled after the CN Tower’s EdgeWalk in Toronto, which gives daredevils a chance to walk around the tower, suspended 356 metres high.

Like the EdgeWalk, guests of the Dare will be harnessed to a safety rail.

The Dare will give visitors 360 degree views of Dubai and the experience is expected to last between 45 minutes to an hour.

The whole development is set to be complete by 2021.
