Skiing at Ski Dubai in the middle of a desert might sound like a fantasy, but Ski Dubai makes it a reality. Located inside the Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a complete beginner, this snowy wonderland offers an unforgettable experience for everyone.
Ski Dubai features five ski runs of varying difficulty, with the longest one stretching 400 meters. There's a dedicated freestyle zone for snowboarders and thrill-seekers, while beginners can take advantage of the gentler slopes and expert instructors. The Snow Park, covering 4,500 square meters, is perfect for family fun with tobogganing hills, ice caves, and snowball zones.
No gear? No problem. Ski Dubai provides all necessary ski and snowboarding equipment with your ticket, including jackets, boots, skis or snowboards, and helmets. Certified instructors are available for both group and private lessons, making it easy to learn or improve your skills.
One of Ski Dubai’s most unique attractions is the daily Penguin Encounter. Visitors can meet King and Gentoo penguins in a controlled environment and even watch them waddle through the snow. This feature adds a magical touch to the whole experience, especially for children.
After a day on the slopes, unwind at one of the cozy alpine-style cafés like Avalanche Café or the North 28 restaurant. Enjoy a hot chocolate while watching the snowy scene unfold through the glass.
