Alpine skiing in the UAE
Tourists who have been to the UAE and specifically to Dubai are no longer surprised that everything in this city «the most». The tallest skyscraper, the largest shopping mall, the tallest fountain ... And yet the fact that even experienced travelers have a ski complex in the very center of the hot desert does not immediately fit into their heads.
Equipment and tracks
The Ski Dubai complex was opened in 2005 in the largest shopping center on the planet. Here you can go not only downhill skiing, but also sledging, ice skating and snowboarding. Its 22.5 thousand square meters are filled with real snow, 30 tons of which are prepared daily by snow cannons. The air temperature in the daytime is one degree above zero, and therefore the stay in the UAE ski resort is pleasant.
The complex Ski Dubai has the highest peak, which even advanced skiers do not miss the opportunity to slide down from. Its height is 85 meters, which corresponds to the level of a 25-storey building. The longest slope in the complex stretches for 400 meters, and its height difference reaches 60 meters.
At the same time, the complex Ski Dubai can accommodate at least 1,500 people, each of whom will find something to their liking. There are five slopes of varying degrees of difficulty and a snow park for children where you can play snowballs or make a snowman. Snowboarders feel great on a 90-meter quaterpipe, while true professionals can try their hand at the free skiing zone..
Lift with a symbolic name for the eastern country «Carpet plane» delivers the guests of the complex to the starting point of the sledges, and the chair-rope device helps the skiers to climb. The Dubai ski resort is equipped with equipment rental and sports uniforms, and there is a school for beginner skiers. Ticket prices may vary depending on the services and entertainment included and the time spent at Ski Dubai.
Entertainment and excursions
A trip to the Ski Dubai complex is a great entertainment in itself for the guests of the ever-hot Dubai. Being in the midst of a beach holiday for a couple of hours in the land of snow and skiing is an interesting adventure and a great opportunity to diversify your vacation. The complex is located in the world's largest shopping mall, where you can arrange wonderful shopping and buy the best goods and world brands at pleasant and affordable prices.
