When I realized we were going to Dubai the first thing that popped into my head was, "We have to ski in Dubai just to say we did it!". We really didn't know how hard the hill was going to be. Where I live, we have multiple world class ski hills within a 2 hours drive, so we know the... more

Ski Dubai is great fun and we go fairly often. Those who say it’s not as good as the real thing are missing the point: it’s indoors and in the middle of a desert for goodness sake! It’s like comparing lying in your bath to swimming in the ocean. The temperature is around -2C so don’t under-estimate how wrapped up... more

I did go to Dubai last September, very busy place with hectic transport but patient drivers. A must see is the Arabian Gulf to have a swim in the clear water. Another must see is the Mall of Emirates to watch the snow ski while having a coffee. High tea at the Burg is a must. I would like to... more

This is worth a look at even if you don't wish to ski. Go to the Mall of the Emirates and if you are hungry, go to Apres for food. It is excellent. You can request for a table overlooking Ski Dubai - that's what we did and it was a greta way to spend a couple of hours watching... more

What fun! Ski Dubai was a definite highlight of our trip. A family of skiers, we were impressed with the runs (given that we were in a mall)! The experience was what was most memorable. Skiing indoors in a dessert while watching shoppers and diners through the large glass windows was a hoot! Our 2 hour ski package was just... more

Ski Dubai. The legend. If nothing else, it is fascinating. The snow quality is quite good. Since the sun doesn’t shine on it, it doesn’t get icy. The run is a little short for our taste (a few hundred feet vertical drop), but it is amazing to think you are doing this in the desert. We found that in the... more

my visit on skie dubai had given me un forgettable picture in my mind more

We went to Ski Dubai and, while skiing this is not the most challenging slopes by any means, the mere fact that you are skiing in the desert was a true novelty. We did get somewhat bored of skiing the same slope, and truly 2 hours is more than enough to get your taste of the facility. Oveall, I would... more

We spent the day at the Mall of the Emirates today and since my wife had never skied before, we decided to try the Beginners Tutorial at Ski Dubia. It was an amazing experience to be skiing in the UAE... a nice change from the Desert Safari's and beach resorts that you'd expect. Ski Dubai is an engineering marvel and... more
