Dubai the City & the Freezing Ski Slopes
I Love it here SO clean and HOT.Dubai boasts the largest building in the world.Budget hotels provide an excellent service including full english breakfast.I have been here several times and is a brilliant place to visit.Taxis are relatively cheap and easily accessed =Shopping Malls are HUGE and a person could quite easily spend the day in them Lots of speciality shop One particular shop had life size metal figures of the Predator & Alien (reall life like & made entirely from scrap metal)& plenty of eateries.We visited a cinema to watch Harry Potter battle evil (good film) the cinemas are very comfortable and are also within the Mall. Most amazingly tho is the massive Ski slope in the Mall !! The ambient weather is kept to a very cold -6C !! Once inside for a brief moment you could be in the Alps !! It is compulsory to wear the warm clothes & shoes provided on entry People catch a ski lift to the slope top & Ski down Other activities include sled runs (Annie never knowing the pleasure of this treat went down the sled run twice!!) The staff were brilliant Ice sculptures magnificent and definitely a place NOT to be missed
