Ski Resorts in United Arab Emirates

Yes, you did read that correctly - ski in the United Arab Emirates! The Middle Eastern resort of Dubai, full of wealth, opulence and an awful lot of sun is fast becoming an increasingly popular ski resort. No, before you ask, global warming hasn't gone crazy. The resort that has everything realised there was something missing- a mountain and snow. So,they created their own.

Right in the centre of Dubai you will find the snow dome, an enormous glass structure that houses a mountain complete with snow. There are also facilities for snowboarding, tobogganing, bobsleighing and plenty of places to eat and drink. The passes are sold in periods of two hours, which you can freeze if you take a break for a meal. It isn't hard to see why it is fast becoming one of Dubai's top tourist attractions.

What Is The Atmosphere Like?

The atmosphere, quite frankly, is indescribable due to the whole unique concept of it all. You can be walking around in the sun, enter the dome, get into your snow suits to combat the freezing temperatures then go skiing. Only in Dubai could you expect something like this, and done so well.

Who Will Enjoy It?

How can you not enjoy one of the big experiences of your lifetime? Skiing in the desert is not something you would normally consider, and even if you did you would keep it to yourself lest you would be thought of as slightly bonkers.

How Many Resorts?

There is just this one resort, and that is all you need. This is very much a fun option and not for those serious winter sports enthusiasts. Little ones under 3 are not allowed in as there is nothing for them so bear this is mind. There is plenty to amuse the rest of the family however, and is a unique way to take a break from the scorching sun for a couple of hours.
