A travel guide to the best places to visit

Ski Dubai

Ski Dubai might be one of the most exciting family friendly attractions in Dubai, as it is the biggest indoor ski park in the world. It’s hard to phantom how they managed to create this ambitious project in a desert city. But after spending my day skiing and drinking warm chocolate milk at Ski Dubai I have to say it’s a lovely experience.

Ski Dubai can be found in the heart of Dubai, at the Mall of the Emirates, over which it towers with a height of 85 meters. It’s suitable for both beginners and experts, as it has five different slopes in various degrees of difficulty. It’s also possible to learn how to ski or snowboard through the courses that are offered. One of the most unique features of Ski Dubai is that you can book an encounter with real penguins that waddle through the snow park at set times.

If you are looking for things to do in Dubai then skiing in this extravagant ski resort should be on the top of your list. You might want to consider booking a trip to this winter wonderland in advance, as it is truly an experience that’s unique to Dubai that you can’t miss out on.
