Worlds Greatest Driving Road
The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the greatest driving road in the world. Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing nearly 4,000 feet, it boasts 60 corners and a surface so smooth that it would flatter a racetrack. It could easily be described as the eighth wonder of the world, but almost nothing is known about its creation.
The road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates, the oil-rich Persian Gulf state. The mountain spans the border with Oman and lies about 90 minutes' drive southeast of the thriving city of Dubai. It looks down upon a dusty, desert landscape that belies a nation of astonishing wealth.

TRON: Legacy Inspired Suite at Ice Hotel
Why just watch the movie, when you could stay at the real-life TRON Legacy ice hotel room in Sweden. According to Disney, this masterpiece was the work of designers Ben Rousseau and Ian Douglas-Jones.
The suite is called The Legacy of the River – a suite inspired by the forthcoming sequel to Tron and it’s certain that you’ll be rocking to Daft Punk while you’re staying there. It also is a fitting celebration for the ICEHOTEL‘s 20th anniversary.
