If you’ve always dreamed of going on a ski holiday with your family, then Dubai is the place to do it. Forget the Swiss Alps, now Ski Dubai’s indoor ski facility lets you hit the slopes without leaving the Middle East. This indoor ski resort is of gigantic proportions covering 22,500 square feet and is located in one of the busiest shopping malls in the city – Mall of the Emirates.
The resort opened in 2005, making it the first indoor ski facility in the region and has been attracting local and foreign tourists alike ever since. Ski Dubai offers you five different slopes with different levels of difficulty, from beginner to expert. Plus, the activities you can do here aren’t limited to skiing, as snowboarding, sledding, or just frolicking in the powdery white snow are also options.
For beginners, Ski Dubai offers qualified instructors to guide you on your way to becoming an accomplished skier. On top of this, all the equipment you need to conquer Dubai’s ski slopes can be hired internally. For those who wish to live on the wild side, snowboarding would be an exciting activity. Ski Dubai has a 400 meter run, complete with jumps and rails designed for freestyle snowboarding.
Snow Park is something that young children and families would enjoy. It’s a 3,000-square-foot facility complete with a snow-filled cavern, a sleigh ride, and sledding hills. The observation tower offers impressive panoramic views of the ski slopes and the snowboard slope.
Ski Dubai offers you the complete package for a wonderful day out with the family that can end with a relaxing meal at the St. Moritz Cafe. The cafe’s ambiance reflects a traditional European ski lodge with a fireplace and views of the slopes below. Located in one of the busiest areas of the city, just about everything a traveler would want can be found here, including shops, dining options, and a world-class hotel that Dubai is proud to own.
