The Snow Park in Ski Dubai

On Christmas Day, after we had opened our presents, me and my brothers went Ski Dubai. At Ski Dubai you can have snowboard and ski lessons or you can also go to the Snow Park. It was -1 and very cold.

We went to the Snow Park. We went on the toboggan run. You lie down on a board, the man pushes you and you go through corners very fast.

We also went on the Tube run. You sit on a rubber tube and go very fast spinning down a snow slope. At the bottom you go up a ramp and then back down again and it stops.

We also climbed a snowy wall using a rope. First time my big brother won, second time I won.

Afterwards we were so cold we went to a cafe and drank hot chocholate. I drank strawberry milkshake. And we pulled Christmas crackers.

Camel riding in Bab al Shams

In Bab al Shams, which is a hotel in the desert, I got to hold a falcon. It was very soft to stroke and it had a hood on its head so that it doesn't hurt you when people are holding it.

When it's getting fed they take the hood off and when I went closer the falcon kept swooping past me and flying over my head!

I also got to ride a camel. It was good fun to ride. We were high up and it was bumpy getting down, because first it lowers its front two legs so we were still high in the air and then it lowers its back legs.

In the desert

Yesterday we were going to go to the Dubai Autodrome but it was closed because there was a BAD STORM! So we went into the desert instead. Luckily the storm hadn't reached the desert.

In the desert we drove over the sand, we saw camels and we found two bones. That's me on the right.
