The Best Times to Visit Dubai

"An indoor ski complex with snow-covered slopes that serves as a popular way to escape Dubai’s extreme summer heat; its indoor ‘mountains’ are highlighted as part of the city’s creative, air-conditioned entertainment offerings that let visitors beat the heat and enjoy attractions year-round, often with easier reservations and shorter queues during the low-season summer months." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"It's All Downhill From Here Admit it; you're curious. A ski hill in the middle of the desert, on the Persian Gulf, no less, is as wild an idea as humankind has ever concocted—but isn't dreaming big what Dubai is all about? The slopes at Ski Dubai are no substitute for Jackson Hole or Vail, of course, but then again, they're not supposed to be. You go simply for the experienceof leaving a housewares shop, sauntering down the hall, and hitting the slopes. Allthe gear required can be rented at Ski Dubai: They even have long overcoats for women in abayas. You can ski or sled, roll down the hill in inflatable plastic balls, frolic with penguins, or even just ride the chairlifts back and forth. When you'refinished skiing, you can head back into the mall for a meal or a movie. You know, just another day in Dubai."

The 25 Best Things to Do in Dubai

"In the middle of a mall in the desert, the world's third-largest indoor ski slope is a sight to behold. A daily lift ticket will run you about $138 (excluding equipment rentals), while a Snow Daycation pass, which primarily provides access to the non-skiing parts of the mountain like tubing, costs $75 per person, and you should plan to get there early. The place is filled with families with kids, most of whom are taking part in various rides, penguin visits and the Snow Cinema instead of skiing. If you're here to shred, there are two runs and a dedicated freestyle area (but Vail this is not)." - Melinda Healy

Ski Dubai is one of the largest indoor snow parks in the world. They maintain the temperature to 2°C - 5 °C, so they provide all what you need to stay warm like a suit, helmet, gloves, boots. There are different areas which you can see people enjoy snow slopes, snow boards, ziplines, snow cinema, cable chairlifts to the mountain... etc. Specially penguin encounter is one of the best. We really enjoyed our time spent playing with snow. Friendly staff. Very methodical. Overall a very lively place to remember.

The snow park was so much fun, and we absolutely loved meeting the cute penguins, such a magical experience! The whole place is spotless, well-maintained, and perfect for both kids and adults. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Dubai!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Experience! Ski Dubai is one of the most unique and fun places I’ve ever visited! ❄️ From real snow to thrilling ski slopes — it’s hard to believe you’re inside a mall in the middle of the desert. The staff is super friendly, everything is well-organized, and they provide all the warm clothes and equipment you need. The penguin encounter was adorable, and the chairlift ride gave an amazing view of the entire snow park. It’s a perfect place for families, couples, or even solo visitors looking for something new. If you’re in Dubai, this is a must-visit attraction — worth every dirham and every minute! ⛷️🐧✨

Ski Dubai was a great experience. Located in the mall, it's easy to access and a good location. They give you gear like gloves, helmet and suits. It was slightly extra cold but the free hot chocolate warmed us. There were rides like the snow sledge, ziplining, tubing, zorbing chair lifts. Would not recommend the bumper cars at all as it was very small. There was face painting for free, a great gesture along with a magic show for kids. Suitable for all ages. Good place overall to spend 2 hours.

Amazing experience to meet the lovely penguins! Booking can only be done online but was difficult because the schedule was fully packed for the whole month. The jacket and boots rental from the counter was smooth and they give you free gloves and disposable socks. After the meeting point and explanation we were guided to our seats. Although you can't touch them; the penguins come really close. The food selection and taste was good. A photographer snaps complimentary photos. Thanks to Darren's humor and informative presentation; our experience was very memorable. Much appreciation to marcus/carol/quee and the rest of the team too. We left happier and more informed about the penguins species.

We had a great experience at Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates. It’s definitely worth going — the atmosphere is fun, the snow activities are exciting, and everything is well-organized. A unique experience right in the middle of Dubai that’s perfect for families, friends, or even a quick adventure. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time at Ski Dubai! It was our first visit, and we were a group of six, some of us have lived in Dubai for over 15 years but had never been until now. We planned our visit in advance and booked our tickets the night before to make sure everything was set. We also read other Google reviews, which helped us prepare the right clothing like bonnets, and leggings under pants so we wouldn’t feel too cold inside. We arrived around 3 PM to make the most of our time, and we ended up spending a good three hours enjoying the activities and taking lots of photos. The place is well-organized, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The whole area was clean, and everything ran smoothly from check-in to returning the gear. We availed one of the activity packages and got to try everything that was included we honestly forgot the names of the individual attractions, but each one was a lot of fun! It was such a great way to escape the intense summer heat outside and enjoy something completely different. After our snowy adventure, we capped the day off with a delicious meal nearby (we had Dim Sum!) a perfect way to end a memorable family day. Thank you, Ski Dubai, for the awesome experience! Highly recommended for both tourists and long-time Dubai residents who haven’t been yet.

Had my very first skiing lesson at Ski Dubai today and it was so much fun! I honestly regret not visiting this place earlier, even though I’ve been living in Dubai for years. The slopes are really nice and the whole experience feels like a little winter escape. A special mention to Jowell, my instructor - clear and super encouraging. Highly recommend Ski Dubai for anyone wanting to have a great time!
