Green Planet
A vacation to the tropics may not be feasible for the Eid weekend, but visiting The Green Planet is very doable.

With over 105 slides to enjoy, there is something for all ages, and it will sure be a long weekend that is well spent.
Ski Dubai
Beat the heat and slide into the best ski resort this Eid. Learn to ski, meet the penguins, and even watch a movie at Snow Cinema. Located at the Mall of Emirates, the indoor skiing experience lets you build a snowman and roll down the snowy slopes at the onset of summer.
