The largest indoor snow park in the world has opened in Dubai, UAE. Built on what was previously desert sand, the slopes will be covered with manufactured snow all year round.

The centre has green, blue, red and black runs, chairlifts and snow patrols, like any other ski resort.

A snow park next door has tobogganing, icy bobsleigh runs and a ski school.

Anyone wanting to ski on the main slopes will have to prove their competence before being allowed to do so.

Here are some fascinating pictures of the snow park.
