In Door Ski, Dubai



In door Ski Dubai. Heard of this place and have seen it in many e-mails. This is the first time I personally visit this place. From its outlook, it does not look like an attracting place to me. It is situated in a shopping mall called "The Mall of Emirates", it is also very near to the famous 7 stars hotel "Burj Al Arab". As far as I know, this is the only in door skiing center in the middle of the desert.


From the shopping mall, you can actual see those people having fun in the Ski Dubai. The shopping mall and the Ski Dubai is only separated by the glass wall. Inside is freezing, but outside is normal air-conditioned temperature. Entrance fee to this park is 60 dirham (about RM60), the rental of winter cloth is included and a pair of new sock. But, you may need to buy a pair of glove and a cap.


This is inside the Ski Dubai. This is the place you can try skiing. Entrance fee to this place is 140 dirham (about RM140) for 2 hours. For novices, you have to spend sometime to learn before you can actually ski, because it is quite dangerous if you don't know how to ski and finally sliding down from the slope, you will lose control and finally bang onto the wall.

I did not try skiing because not enough time. We only stay in that shopping mall for abt 2 hours only, so we just paid 60 dirhams and entered the snow park only. Next time must try.
