Stop #2: Ski Dubai
Ski Dubai is the largest indoor ski resort in the Middle East and has the first ever indoor black diamond run. Although it may seem strange to find a ski resort in the middle desert, Dubai is full of surprises.
The venue is home to five slopes with varying degrees of difficulty and steepness, as well as a sled-and-toboggan run, a penguin-friendly zone, and an ice-cave. (We're not joking - King and Gentoo Penguins regularly roam the slopes, away from skiers of course). Ski Dubai has lessons for beginners and novices, even if you have never skied or boarded before.
Ski Dubai Ski Slope Access allows you to take the slopes or access the Winter Wonderland.
Stop #3: Dhow Dinner Cruise Dubai Creek
The perfect way to end your first day in Dubai would be with a cruise on one of the many authentic shows that are found all around the city.

The creek divides the downtown into two distinct banks.
