3. Desert Skiing at the Mall of the Emirates
When in Dubai, you’ve got to hit the indoor slopes in this extraordinary shopping mall. Ski Dubai in the Mall of the Emirates isn’t just a novelty lark, it actually has five pretty decent runs up to 1,300 feet long, including the world’s first indoor black run. You can rent all the gear you need there, including equipment and ski wear. Take a ski lesson, try snowboarding or just toboggan, tube or zorb down at the adjacent snow park. If that’s not enough, there are also real live penguins there to enhance the snowy ambiance.
