The Arabian desert is synonymous with a variety of animals like camels, falcons and even penguins. Yes, the furry black and white winter-wanderers are normally known to inhabit the Southern Hemisphere but can also now be found in the middle of the Dubai desert - albeit at Ski Dubai. It's one of the most innovative, iconic and exciting tourist attractions to ever be found in the Middle East.

One of the best waterparks you'll find anywhere in the world is the Wild Wadi Waterpark, a true Arabian water experience positioned right on the shores of the city's iconic Burj Al Arab. Wild Wadi is themed around the tale of classic Arabian character Juha and offers a variety of pulsating rides, slides and activities for all ages.
