Skiing in Dubai

[sperks]

On a stopover in Dubai I got my ski fix at ski Dubai 37 degrees C outside uncrowded better snow than I've skied on in some resorts!

Fun! Did you bring ski stuff knowing you would be skiing?

No every thing is supplied even disposable-socks like the airlines supply you can buy gloves I had a hat and wool gloves as I'd been to Europe it was $ 60 aus For 2 hrs which I thought was reasonable

What fun, and great bragging rights! We did the same in The Netherlands one year (in August)!

That's a lot less expensive than I would have expected.

I couldn't resist free transit in Dubai while traveling between Thailand and Uganda. It was a unique experience to ski indoor with every piece of gear provided for, walk the gorgeous beach of Arabian (aka Persian to Westerners) Gulf barefoot, and dine at Burj Al Dubai all on the same day. Two hours was more than enough time for the place. I do cringe now when I think about the energy and water expended to maintain it.

Oops, I meant Burj al Arab, thanks!

Then there was Jumeirah Mosque tour and a spectacular desert safari of camel ride, falconry, and sheesha on day 2 of 2...

Your Dubai escapade sounds really fun and exciting! Wish I could travel and ski the biggest indoor skiing ground too. ^_^

Wish they had that built when I visited Dubai many years back. But, it sounds like they'll be building one in Texas soon..... https://www.outsideonline.com/news-...Prairie-Texas-to-Offer-Year-round-Skiing.html
