Ski Dubai

Of all Dubai's attractions, this ingenious 'skiing in the desert' facility is the one that's raised most interest. The region's first indoor ski resort, spanning 22,500 sq meters, features real snow. It has five runs, the longest being 400 meters with a fall of 60 meters. The Snow Park at the foot of the slope is a magnet for children who can perfect their snowball throwing. There's even a restaurant halfway up.
