Associating Dubai with its fantastic climate and all-year round sunshine with a skiing holiday is probably not the norm for most people. However Dubai is full of surprises and the contradiction of having a ski resort in the desert was one that captured the imagination and this project was opened in December 2005.
Not only has it been a huge success but also it continues to attract residents and tourists in droves on a daily basis. But it are never too crowded as it can house up to 1500 people at a time. Dubai Ski Dome makes it easy for visitors because it provides all the equipment necessary for a day on the slopes. Full thermal ski wear and ski's, sledging equipment & snow boards are just some of the equipment available to make this a great day out for all the family.
Ski Dubai is situated in the fabulous Mall of the Emirates. You can't miss it as it towers above the skyline providing 400m of slope and has the only indoor black run in the world. For the less experienced, (and don't panic because there are more gentle slopes to attempt) and for the novice, ski lessons are available on request. All in all, the ski resort offers 5 different ski runs of varying degrees and length. Snow boarding and snowboarding lessons are also available and for the kids, there is a sledging area which is also great for the young ones.
Dubai Ski uses real snow created by the conditions in the dome. Over 6000 tons of snow in fact, so the thermal clothing is a real necessity if you are to spend any time here.
To complement the day in the Alps, at the foot of the resort are alpine style restaurants where you can eat fondue or sip a glass of mulled wine. Après ski is always a big part of any skiing holiday and in the Mall of the Emirates, they've really made it happen!
'Dubai Sunny Mountain Ski Resort' is another groundbreaking project due to open in 2008 in Dubailand. Due to the success of the Dubai Ski Dome, Dubai is also constructing a huge dome housing a revolving ski slope, which will meander through artificial mountain ranges. To make this a real 'arctic' experience, included in this attraction will be a penguin house, arctic aquarium, cold and warm bath spas and many more facilities to make this fantastic arctic experience in the desert. Dubailand is being constructed now and is an attraction that will really rival any Disney park.
To experience the fantastic Dubai ski dome or to book lessons in advance (always advisable)
