Now we didn't enter Ski Dubai, but you can watch from outside and see how much 'fun' this place is (or isn't). It's not that large so ski slopes and zorb runs are pretty tiny. They have a pretty pitiful penguin display. Basically some guy comes out, penguins know he has fish in his pocket, they follow him around for... More

I enjoyed having dinner watching through the enormous plate glass walls in the Dubai Mall. Pretty phenomenal watching all the ski bunnies having a frosty good time in the desert resort.

Unique experience for sure. A lifelong skier, this experience was not about terrific snow skiing but rather about a very unique experience. Rental includes equipment as well as ski pants and jacket - everyone on the hill is wearing the same. Novelty of skiing indoors wore off before our time was even up. Yet I would not hesitate to recommend;... More

The most amazing thing is to see it in such a hot place. Many people in UAE never saw snow so the idea to put it there is impressive!

Amazing stuff getting a snowboard in Dubai. For around $55 AUD you get a 2 hour lift pass and all your ski snowboard gear. The only thing you need is gloves , so either bring your own or they sell some acceptable ones for $5 in the shop next door.If your travelling and mindful of space in your bag just... More

You learn why it's the only place trying to train penguins (because it's like herding cats!) Still very cool (literally) to pet the penguins and learn about their habits and personalities.

It's like being in a totally different place altogether. You can get Ski lessons and pros can Ski to their heart's content. There are few fun activities that keep kids engaged and wanting for more. You can even try yiur hand in making a snowman! You should carry your own set of gloves, socks and especially cap. They do give... More
