Ski Dubai
Have you heard of the inflatable snowball or the mountain thriller? Go check these out at Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates. It also has a 128 metre-long family sledge — wonderful for a group of four to six people. Tel: +971 4 409 4000

Dreamland Aqua Park
Weighed down by the sweat on your brow? Here is your chance to float like a feather. Just take a dip in the high-salinity pool at Dreamland Aqua Park in Umm Al Quwain. Some say you can actually skip going to the Dead Sea! Tel: +971 6 768 1888

Times Square’s arctic Chill Bar
Chill out in sub-arctic temperatures at the Chill Bar in Times Square. Eat out of ice plates and drink from ice glasses served from a counter made of ice — while being seated on ice sofas. Don’t freak out! You will be given ice gear to keep warm.
