Built in the middle of scorching Arabian desert, Dubai's newest tourist destination is something of a paradox. The Ski Dubai indoor skiing centre is a $272 million dollar masterpiece. Spanning the length of three football pitches and boasting real snow, the centre is built inside one of Dubai's mammoth shopping malls, allowing passing shoppers to watch in amazement as people in winter clothes have snowball fights on the other side of the glass panels.
But if feeling the fresh air on your face as you sail down the mountainside is more your idea of a real skiing trip then look no further than Ski-Direct. With a range of European, American and Canadian resorts on offer, it will be cheaper than flying to an Arabian country for your icy thrills!
