Dubai promises that winter will be pleasant in these latitudes at times when the temperature drops a few degrees, making it enjoyable to walk the streets. In this place, the fun never ends and for winter sports lovers, it is possible to enjoy them at different points throughout the city.

For the winter season in Dubai, some locations renew their offerings and others open their doors so visitors and citizens can enjoy the refreshing breeze in any corner of the city. But for those who believed that Dubai had no winter sports, there is a series of sites offering these alternatives for those who prefer to remember the white magic of the mountains in the middle of the desert.
