Fast forward to the present day, as we witness a stark contrast in lifestyles, with a mother and daughter enjoying a carefree day at the beach, their laughter echoing as they float on a new rubber tube (Mother and Daughter Snorkeling). In the midst of the desert, Ski Dubai defies the scorching heat, cooling its massive complex to below freezing temperatures, where people glide down snowy slopes on inner tubes, a luxurious escape from the city's record-breaking carbon footprint (Inside Ski Dubai, Dubai).
