Ski Dubai, as the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort, offers a total area of 22,500 square meters, specially designed in a mountain theme to suit skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing. For people who prefer playing and hanging out in the snow, over skiing, the adjoining 3000 square meter Snow Park is available.
The opening hours are dependent on the season, and while Ski Dubai is open through all 7 days, the specific period (such as Ramadan) may impose certain limitations in the hours available for fun activities. The entry fee structure is also varied for adults and children, and depends on the exact activity of Ski Dubai a person intends to access. Ski Dubai also offers training sessions for a fee. The entry fees include the cost for boots, clothing and skiing equipment, but the ski cap and gloves are not included. These can be bought from the nearby Snow Pro ski shop for a very nominal fee.

The temperature inside Ski Dubai is always kept at 3 degrees or below, creating snow flakes at night and a chilled environment during the day. The Snow Park has igloos, slides and a few empty snow-filled spaces to just “chill.” The real skiing and snow sports take place up on the slopes, located on the other side of the Snow Park. Skiing is not allowed unless you have proper training or experience. There are many precautionary measures implemented by the management to ensure the safety of the visitors.
As Ski Dubai is located inside Dubai’s most famous shopping complex, visitors can take the time to enjoy more than just the snow. There are two food courts upstairs, one catering to the budget diners and the other serving to the more affluent diners. A myriad of shops are available, selling everything from designer jeans and office wear to branded electronics and jewelry.
For people visiting Dubai, on business or a leisure trip, staying near the central city will provide easy access to many facilities and attractions. Staying at a luxury hotel in Dubai, will offer tourists the best in modern luxury facilities and amenities to make stays in Dubai truly worthwhile and memorable.
