Part of Dubai's Mall of The Emirates, the Ski Dubai is Middle East's first indoor ski resort that provides real snow fun all year round. Whether you are beginner or a professional ski sporter, this entertaining winter wonder land that covers 22500 square meters has something for everyone and is guaranteed to give you a good time. The magnificent mountain themed Ski Dubai offers a wide range of snow sports and is also ideal for just playing around in the snow.
Skiing which is an incredibly popular winter sport can be enjoyed here by beginners as there are beginner slopes within. For the more advanced, there are 5 runs that have different levels of difficulty, gradient and height. The longest one is 400 meters with a fall height of approximately 60 meters. A real challenge for even the more experienced skiers is the black run, which is the world's first indoor slope of its kind. Snowboarding can also be enjoyed along the 400 meter run and at the Freestyle Zone which has jumps and rails designed to provide a thrill.
A visit to Ski Dubai would not be complete without spending some time in the fun filled Snow Park that covers 3000 square meters. Within the Snow Park lays tobogganing hills, a bobsled ride, tubing and a snow cavern that is deigned for an interactive experience filled with many sights and sounds. This place makes an ideal spot to enjoy some family fun and for the kids to have a good time by playing in the snow and building snowmen. Visitors can also take in the action happening on the resort's main slope from the observation tower.
For those enjoying themselves on the upper slopes, they can take a break at the Avalanche Cafi which has a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Ski Dubai also offers an experience of being able to unwind in a cozy mountain ski lodge by the side of a nice warm fire, overlooking the snow park at the St. Moritz Cafe.
