More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step inside Ski Dubai and the city’s heat falls away; the air sharpens, snow grates under boots, and a steep plastic chairlift hums above groomed runs. The Park sits within the Mall of the Emirates, a controlled alpine pocket where runs, a Snow Cavern, and a penguin theatre compress winter into a few crisp degrees and handfuls of rides.
