Wait, I thought it was Hot there?!


Even though Dubai is located in the middle of the desert, it now has its own snow skiing center. Located in the new Mall of the Emirates (MOE), on the Sheikh Zayed Road, it offers both skiing and snowboarding. The slope is quite large for an indoor area. All equipment is available for hire. Although it is -4°C inside, you don't need to bring a jacket because they supply pretty much everything except gloves and a hat (which you can buy right there). A 2 hour pass costs Dhs160 plus Dhs10 for key deposit. By the way, the currency in Dubai is Dirhams and the exchange rate with the U.S. is:
$1.00 = Dhs3.67
