Sharjah 24 – Reuters: Paragliders Horacio Llorens and Rafael Goberna expertly glided around the world's largest fountain at the Pointe, Palm Jumeirah in Dubai with the luxurious Atlantis Hotel in the background.
Spaniard Llorens, a five-times world champion, and Brazilian Goberna took to the skies in mid-January, defying gravity and performing in unison between and around the fountain.

The Palm Fountain features two floating platforms, which cover 14,000 square metres of sea water and reaches 105 metres high with a lighting display involving 3,000 LED lights that are in sync with hit songs from sunset until midnight.
