The United Arab Emirates is home to some of the warmest temperatures in the Middle East.

Dubai, the most visited of all seven Emirates, can reach heights of 100°F or more for the majority of the year, with little precipitation.

Needless to say, it gets pretty hot – hot enough to think twice about outdoor activities during Spring, Summer, and early Fall months.

But lo and behold, the country that never ceases to amaze us with its innovation, architectural prowess, and seemingly endless streams of wealth, has found a way to make it snow right in the middle of the desert – by creating the first indoor Ski Resort in the Middle East: Ski Dubai.

Set in The Mall of the Emirates, (One of the largest shopping malls in the world), Ski Dubai is a -4 degree, 22 thousand square meter snowy play-land equipped with skiing, indoor skydiving, and even penguins. Yes. Penguins.
