The Golden Paradise

DUBAI

Ski Dubai

Ski Dubai is claimed to be one of the largest indoor ski resorts in the
world, with 22,500-square metres of indoor ski area. It is a part of the Mall of
the Emirates, which is one of the largest malls in the world. An extremely
efficient insulation system is the key to maintain the temperature of -1 degrees
Celsius during the day and -6 degrees during the night when the snow is
produced.

Burj-Al-Arab Hotel

The Mall of the Emirates

The Mall of the Emirates is a shopping mall in Dubai, and is currently owned
by Majid Al Futtaim (MAF Holding). It is currently the largest shopping mall in
the Middle East, although the Dubai Mall, which is under construction by Emaar,
and Mall of Arabia will take the top spots upon completion in late 2008 or early
2009.

Jumeriah Beach

Set on the shores of the Arabian Gulf and built in a startling shape that
mirrors a breaking wave, Jumeirah Beach Hotel has its own private beach, named
'Jumeirah Beach'. For those seeking a little more exhilaration, the Wild Wadi
Water Park next door is a delightful break for both the young and young at
heart.

Dubai Gold Souk

In the late afternoon and in the evening, the streets around the Gold Souk
fill themselves with people coming from all over the world. More than 300
jewelleries situated one after the other wait for their visitors. Brilliants,
emeralds, sapphires, bracelets, watches, rings and necklaces - everything the
heart of a jewellery lover desires - glitter in the nicely illuminated
show-cases. Haggling about the price is like a tradition. The best time is the
late afternoon. Usually, the shops are open until 10:00 p.m. Almost all of the
beach hotels offer a shuttle bus free of charge to and fro to the Gold Souk in
the afternoon. Of course, the bus driver will bring you back to the beach hotel
where you are staying.
