Ski DubaiOne of the city's newest and most interesting attractions is the
region's first indoor ski resort, with real snow and five runs
catering to both beginner and expert skiers and snowboarders. The
monumental indoor snowdome can host up to 1,500 people. The longest
run is 1,312 feet (400m), dropping 197 feet (60m), while a
freestyle zone and quarter pipe cater specifically for
snowboarders. Ski lifts, snow patrols and professional instructors
help to create an authentic environment. A Snow Park at the bottom
is ideal for children to play in the snow. Slope passes include all
equipment and ski clothing except hats and gloves. Guests need to
pass a minimum skills test to access the main slopes, and those who
don't pass can take lessons. Address: Sheikh Zayed Rd, Mall of the Emirates Website: www.skidxb.com Telephone: (0)4 409 4000 Opening Time: Sunday to Wednesday 10am-11pm, closes midnight
