Ski Dubai
If you want to experience snow in the desert, in Dubai, you will have the opportunity to go to Ski Dubai. The attraction is located inside the Mall of the Emirates (not the Dubai Mall, although many confuse it). There are different tickets for the tour that range from AED 220 ($60). The price increases depending on the attractions you want to visit.
Since 2005, the largest indoor ski resort has opened, and its name is, simply, Ski Dubai. With 400 meters of snow-covered slope, Ski Dubai guarantees hours of skiing to its customers, in conditions that are necessarily optimal, since they are fully controlled. Located in the middle of the desert, the Ski Dubai indoor resort is a real technological feat. While the average temperature outside is 40°, the Ski Dubai slope is maintained at a constant temperature of -1°. Many ski enthusiasts hope one day to have the chance to ski Dubai’s slope.
The technical specifications of Ski Dubai are an avalanche of figures, each more surprising than the last: 25,000 m2 of interior surface, 30 tons of snow made every day, 250 million dollars for construction costs, capacity for 1500 people, and 1 meter thick insulating walls…
But to ski in Dubai, you can also stay outside… Because, it is a specialty of the region, sand skiing is one of the favorite sports. To ski in Dubai, in the desert sand, the technique is no longer, this time, on the side of contractors, but those who practice it!
