The Emirates Twin Towers (376m) is the second tallest hotel in the world, bigger than the Rose Rayhaan (333m) and the Burj Al Arab (321m). The tallest is Abraj Al Bait in Saudi.

Hottest temp ever recorded? A bit contentious but 47.5 seems to be the consensus. Death Valley in California has the record.

Hi all,
I'm writing a quiz for work on Dubai and UAE. Does anyone have any good trivia or pub quiz type questions I could steal? Thank you.
