Sailing and windsurfing are popular around Dubai and boats are available for hire. The waters off Dubai are considered among the best areas in the world for diving. Much of the long expanse of Jumeirah Beach in Dubai is dominated by luxury hotels and their facilities. However, there is a stretch of public beach available, with clean white sand, crystal clear seawater and bath-temperature surf. In the Northern Emirates, important resort areas are Khor Fakkan, which has excellent beaches and watersports facilities and Khalid Lagoon (an aquatic park with several islands and a miniature theme park). The East Coast is an impressive stretch of lush coastline, with steep mountains, unspoilt sandy bays and beaches, ancient fortresses and date palm groves sloping down to the edge of the Indian Ocean with its host of marine life. Scuba-diving and snorkeling are very popular here.
There is an abundance of game fish in the Gulf. Fully-equipped boats with crew can be hired from the Jebel Ali Hotel marina for deep-sea fishing trips.
Desert safaris by 4-wheel drive, sand-skiing, moonlit bedouin barbeques, camel riding and dhow cruises.
At Dubai Creekside Park, Children's City is a 7,700 sq m (82,882 sq ft) development taking young minds on a journey through the human body, science and space, with the help of different zones'.. With plenty of hands-on action to keep even the most demanding children occupied, this is no dull old museum. All exhibits are in English as well as Arabic.
Skiing and snowboarding are possible at the Ski Dubai indoor snow sports centre which includes the world's first indoor black run.
