Didn't experience the snow and cold ( get enough of that in the UK) but enjoyed watching everyone through the plate glass windows. Looked like great fun.

Hi worth it once, small slope with yer actual snow. i took my own gloves and socks. Very quiet when I went and may be less pleasant when busy. as all indoor slopes it is short and the chair slow. But passed away an hour or so for DH200. There's not so much shock of the cold as you dont... More

Great place to visit even if you're not going to ski. There's lots to do - ski-lift, lots of bob-sleighs, rides etc. You can also see the penguins. Something very different to do in the usual heat of Dubai.

made me feel like a child again, riding down the slides on tube, going up on the cable cars and enjoying a hot cup of hot chocolate at the top with marshmallows and m&ms.

Obviously if you are not from the Middle East you can find much better skiing locally, but its amazing they built this indoors and you can touch and pet penguins, which is a first. Def worth it for the penguins, not worth it for the snow if you can see snow every year at home.

You really have to see this to believe it - in 45c heat how is is possible to maintain a fully functional ski resort complete with ski lifts, sledges, snowball fights, iglus etc etc and great skiing. its one of the most amazing building marvels you will see.

Ski Dubai is an amazing place to have fun with kids. Within the Mall of Emirates, it is a must do activity with the kids, The kids had fun watching the penguins, snow boarding, taking rides on the ski lift, and playing with the snow. One can ski on the artificial slopes. The whole ambiance is out of this world,... More
