Places: Remembering Dubai - Ski Dubai (Skiing, in a shopping centre, in a desert. Only in Dubai.)



Ski Dubai was one of the place that I visited while working in Dubai, UAE. It has become a firm favorite among tourists and locals alike. Set in a huge indoor snow centre in Mall of the Emirates (meaning you can combine skiing and shopping).  Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East and offers an amazing snow setting to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing or just playing in the snow. The construction covers an amazing 22,500 square meters covered with real snow all year round. Ski Dubai is related to the Mall of the Emirates and is part of Majid Al Futtaim Group of Companies.



Ski Dubai has 5 runs that vary in difficulty, height and steepness. The longest run being 400 meters with a fall of over 60 meters, making it the world’s first indoor black run. Skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels will enjoy these various slopes and snowboarders can also practice their stunts on the 90-metre long quarter pipe. Kids and parents alike will have fun in the interactive Snow Park which is the largest indoor snow park in the world with 3000 square meters.

Ski Dubai offer its guests the use of winter clothing, ski and snowboard equipment. Your skis will carry you down the slope, and the quad-chairlift and tow lift will promptly carry you back to the top for another run. It  has an  enormous ski slope (made from fresh snow produced each day), plus a snow park for the kids.

There are also themed cafe's and restaurants at the entrance of Ski Dubai like the St Moritz Café and the Avalanche Café at mid-station, with views of the slope. An exclusive retail shop, Snow Pro, has expert staff to advise you on your equipment needs and the team of professional instructors will guide you through the simple, fun process of learning to ski or snowboard.

It's price is a bit expensive so if you want to bring the whole family, you should plan ahead before visiting. As for me and my friends we enjoyed our stay inside Ski Dubai since it was our first time to feel and see real snows and have fun learning how to ski and snowboard.

Below are some of the pictures taken inside Ski Dubai. Enjoy!!:)
