Why to visit Ski Dubai

Dubai is a world of man-made miracles, where mirages are brought to life via magnificent architecture. With an enormous choice of fun-filled attractions, Dubai's largest indoor snow park home provides fun-filled memories. Ski Dubai is a winter wonderland with five slopes, a chairlift, and live penguins (each one individually named). With 6000 tonnes of snow and a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, a good hot chocolate at one of the park's few cafés is also a must. However, skis and snow gear are included in the admission price; hats and gloves are offered separately.

Apart from the customary amenities, Ski Dubai also holds a variety of events and concerts, as well as the Avalance Cafe, a cosy eatery with a terrace overlooking the ski slopes. Ski Dubai is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a must-see for any traveller.

If you wish to get here, take the red line (M1) to the Mall of Emirates station, which is connected to the mall through a covered overhead walkway. The following buses stop at Mall of the Emirates to get here: 84, 93, F29, F30, F33. This location is open from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 09 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Special Tip

Skiing in Dubai costs approximately AED 190 for an adult and AED 170 for a youngster. There is an age restriction, with a minimum age of three years, since children under the age of three are not permitted to participate in the activity.
