Dubai

Dubai has done it again. In a city that seems to know no boundaries – plans for the world’s tallest skyscraper and the Palm Islands (a collection of manmade isles with spas, apartments, and more) are just a few of the think-big projects in the works – Ski Dubai (opened in 2005) still comes as a surprise. Where else in the world can you throw a snowball in the morning and burn your feet on a beach’s hot desert sand later the same day?! At more than 73,000 square feet, this large and opulent facility comes complete with five runs of varying difficulty (including the world’s first indoor black diamond course), a “Freestyle Zone”, Snow Park (with options for bobsled rides and more), and two mountain-themed restaurants. What’s more, there’s no need to stuff your desert-bound suitcase with bulky clothes – the price of admission wisely includes use of equipment and ski gear, too.
