This world of ours holds many mysteries. Such as how did the pyramids get built? Or Stonehenge? Or, for that matter, a snow park in the desert! Nobody really knows the answer to these questions. But don't waste energy trying to understand. Instead, spend that energy enjoying this not-mirage's five slopes, including the world's first indoor black diamond run. Your ticket includes all the necessary winter garb (and you get to keep the socks and gloves) so get suited and booted and head up the (fake) mountain so that you can talk yourself into getting back down. Repeat all day long.

You'll have some fun options with this ticket. There's the traditional toboggan or the more newfangled inner tube, or you could re-enact the climax of the movie Cool Runnings and hurtle down in a bobsled. Ski Dubai is the coolest thing you can do in the desert - literally and figuratively. Have as much fun as gravity can throw your way (and one of the most unique experiences you can have on a desert vacation).
