Overview
The story
Ski Dubai is the Middle East's original indoor ski resort — a 22,500 m² snow park inside Mall of the Emirates maintained at -1 °C to -2 °C year-round. Guests choose between the Ski Slope package, which unlocks five runs including the region's only indoor black run, and the Snow Park pass, which is the better fit for families who want tobogganing, snowballs and the resident king and gentoo penguins. Rental of jackets, trousers, gloves, socks, helmets and skis or snowboards is bundled into every ticket.

Why choose this tour
For guests visiting Dubai in summer, Ski Dubai is the most reliable way to break the heat with children. We recommend the two-hour Snow Park pass for first-timers under 12 and the full-day Ski Slope for anyone who wants proper skiing. Penguin encounters — March of the Penguins and Peng-Friend — are separate add-ons and sell out on weekends; book at least three days ahead.

Recommendations & what to bring

What to bring
- Thermal base-layer top and leggings (recommended)
- Long socks (a pair is provided)
- Photo ID for equipment deposit
- Warm layer for after skiing (café area is cool)
