For folks who live where there is snow this is not much for a ski hill and you probably will be like me wondering how much energy is being used to keep it so cold in the mall when it's 40 degrees outside. It looks dirty and dark inside ... not my idea of a fun place to ski but... More

It couldn't be more surreal, standing in the middle of the desert, putting on thermals in a shopping mall and then stepping onto a ski slope where it was -3! It was great fun and more of a novelty as once you've done a few runs it can get a little boring, but worth it at least to say you've... More

We are in our 40's but went in for the experience and LOVED it! We didn't bother with the skiing, but went on the ski-lift, tobogganing, and Zorb ball.... so much fun - just do it! More

We did the penguin encounter at Ski Dubai on a friday afternoon, having pre-booked the time slot a couple of days earlier at the penguin encounter desk outside ski dubai a few days earlier. The entrance fee is pretty steep at 175Dhs a head (no discount for children). This includes ski suits, gloves, socks and boots, and for the kids... More

This place sure did impress, considering it is built in the Mall of the Emirates. If you are not a Ski or Snowboarding expert, this is not the place to learn as the slopes are rather scary for a novice. However you can participate in Toboganning, Chair Lift or Tubing, which is fun. Overall it is pretty expensive to visit... More

Well, I would have never believed that skiing in Dubai is possible. I was proven wrong! Not only possible, it can be done in the Shopping Mall! The Mall of Emirates is considered to be an old mall (?!) and has significantly less visitors than the Dubai Mall (good selection of high street shops and Jewellery stores). It's advantage is...
