Four Seasons Golf Club
As of late, everyone has been talking about the newly built Four Seasons Golf Club at Dubai Festival City and its gorgeous, social clubhouse and casual Spikes restaurant (ask for a table outside and order smoked salmon on warm pizza dough with a yogurt caper dip). Although the Four Seasons Hotel and its additional restaurants are not yet completed, the golf club itself is open, with plans to one day become a dazzling resort.
Ski Dubai
You wouldn’t expect to go snow skiing or snowboarding in 30˚F weather in the middle of a desert in the Middle East, but that’s what makes it particularly fun. Ski Dubai, located at the Mall of the Emirates, features a chairlift and almost 74,000 square feet of real snow and five different runs varying in difficulty, height and gradient (the longest run is about 1,312 feet with a 197-foot fall). Winter clothing (with the exception of gloves, which you do need and should purchase bring with you or buy at the sporting goods store next door before entering the complex) and equipment are included in the price of the $42 (two hours); $74 (all day) slope pass (children’s passes are $36-$61).
