47 Crazy Things You Only Find in Dubai

42. Ski Dubai

Skiing while it is outdoors above 40 degrees? It seems impossible, but then again… It’s Dubai! Ski Dubai allows residents and visitors to ski and snowboard right in the middle of the desert. The indoor ski area spans over 240,000 square feet with 22,500 square meters dedicated to ski slopes. Ski Dubai contains a main downhill run, terrain parks, chairlifts, a ski school, and cafe. The facility provides jackets, boots, skis, helmets, gloves and all necessary winter gear.

Ski Dubai provides winter sport entertainment year round. Patrons flock to the slopes to snow tube, build snowmen, climb interactive ice towers or zipline through the snow. An attached penguin encounter area is home to a colony of king and gentoo penguins. Ski Dubai reflects the ability of ambitious Dubai developers to make the impossible possible.
