It’s not always the snow season. But does that mean you won’t ski or snowboard? Dubai does the impossible! Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology and innovative engineering, it has created the snow-capped hill station in the middle of the desert. Closest to the natural skiing you can ever get in a city that experiences an average temperature of the high 20s (in Celsius), even in winter, is indoor skiing at Ski Dubai.
Indoor skiing is gaining huge popularity — it includes a hangar-sized complex, artificial slope, different runs, climate control, and machine-made snow. Ski Dubai takes it up a notch with a below-zero climate and pleasing atmosphere.
