“We love the height of Dubai – it is a city of skyscrapers. We climbed on top of as many as we could,” said Remnev to Caters News Agency. “After this trip, buildings in Russia seem very small.”

The group had no problem accessing the buildings, according to Remenev. “In Dubai, there are a lot of open roofs. It was not difficult to climb up to them.”

Remenev is apart of a group called “Skywalkers,” a group of mostly Russian and Ukrainian daredevils who are always looking for the next exhilarating adventure.
