Water Parks and Desert Larks - Dubai...


10th attempt... Thanks Arlene for your patience! :)
Thought I would be good at this, I was very wrong first go on the mechanical flowrider I lasted about 3 seconds, by the end of the day I managed to stay on for the whole ride only took about 10 attempts...
A water ride that goes through an aquarium... Only in Dubai.

Ski'd in a mall before?


Got a little excited about the fact snow was falling from the roof.


The worlds first indoor black run.
I'm not sure if this stuff was just meant for the kids or not, they seemed a little surprised to see me on it but...



An indoor ski field in the middle of the desert. Step through one doorway and you will go from 45 degrees to minus 4 degrees.

Desert by the Sea - Dubai

Walking off the waves of nauseation induced by some intense 4WD dune bashing.

From the top of the slide tower at the Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park.
Dubai may be broke, but for the passing traveler this has equated to a massive drop in prices of everything, from their 5 star hotels to things to do and there are plenty of things to do in Dubai! Mechanical surfing waves, indoor snow skiing, camel riding, beaches, underwater aquarium water slides, 4WD dune bashing in the desert, malls with shark tanks, the worlds tallest building, definitely no shortage of things to see and do!

Days Off 2 - Dubai.
