Be it Skiing (sand and for that matter ice too!) or horse and camel racing or fishing or go-karting. You name it, they have it. Dubai lives up to its expectations when it comes to sports and recreational activities. It offers all the possible sports activities that generally only the western and European countries boast of. And yes this does include ice skating and skiing (not quite typical of a Middle East country where temperatures soar as high as 50 degrees Celsius) For a fact (which not many may know) that Dubai gets more revenues from its sports events than oil and petroleum.

It has everything in store for professionals, amateur and kids too. It has 5 runs each different in difficulty, slope etc. And it's not only snow skiing that we are talking about. <a href="http://tour-dubai.blogspot.com/search/label/ski%20dubai">Click here to know all about skiing in Dubai.</a> FISHING: Yes, you read right.
