Dubai · Dubai Emirate · United Arab Emirates
The iconic 22,500m² indoor snow resort located inside Mall of the Emirates, featuring 5 runs including the world’s first indoor black run and a live penguin habitat.
Covering an expansive 22,500 square metres inside the renowned Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is the pioneering desert snow dome of the Middle East. It features a 400-metre main run with a 60-metre vertical drop, housing 5 separate pistes of varying difficulty—ranging from gentle nursery banks to the world’s first indoor black diamond run. Cooled continuously to -4°C, it utilizes automated atomized snow cannons to produce fresh, chemical-free real snow every night, complemented by a quad chairlift, terrain park, and an authentic alpine chalet atmosphere.
