Ski Dubai is an amazing place to have fun with kids. Within the Mall of Emirates, it is a must do activity with the kids, The kids had fun watching the penguins, snow boarding, taking rides on the ski lift, and playing with the snow. One can ski on the artificial slopes. The whole ambiance is out of this world,... More

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.

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!
