The air goes cold the moment you step off the mall concourse and into Ski Dubai’s cavernous white interior — a sharp, clean chill that makes the city’s heat feel a universe away.

History
Ski Dubai opened in 2005 inside Mall of the Emirates and was one of the first large indoor ski resorts in the Middle East, later adding a resident penguin program for education and encounters.
Conservation
Penguin care at Ski Dubai operates under veterinary supervision with public-education goals; visitors are asked to follow guidelines to avoid stressing animals and to minimize energy waste by keeping doors closed.
Reserve your spot on the Ski Dubai Snow Plus Pass with Transfers today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Reserve slope time in advance
If you want the 2-hour ski/snowboard slot, book it when you buy your pass — runs and lesson slots fill quickly during peak hours.
Layer smart
The ski jacket and boots are provided, but bring a thin base layer and a neck gaiter — indoor cold is dry and can chill exposed skin.
Protect small children
Helmets are provided for under‑13s; supervise young riders on tubing and bumper cars and use child-specific lanes when offered.
Use the locker
Lockers are included — store valuables and leave your electronics in the warm zone to avoid condensation from temperature swings.
Light thermal base layer
Wicks moisture and adds warmth under the provided jacket and trousers.
Closed-toe shoes or snow boot liners
Helps stabilize your foot in snow boots and makes walking on icy surfaces easier.
Glove liners
Thin liners keep hands warm without bulk and work under the supplied fleece gloves.
Small dry bag or phone sleeve
Prevents condensation damage to electronics when moving between warm and cold zones.
