on Dubai United Arab Emirates. In this video we'll share our experience with
Ski Dubai in the Mall Emirates in the city of Dubai. It's my hope that our Ski
Dubai guide will help you with your magical trip to the winter wonderland in
the desert. You can easily get to Ski Dubai by using the Big Bus or
Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tours both which have stops in the mall of
emirates. A convenient and faster way to get to ski dubai is by the Dubai Metro
Red line
Although the Dubai Metro can get crowded, it is still faster than driving across
downtown Dubai in a car. For more information about the Dubai Metro watch our video on
Dubai Local Transportation. Ski Dubai is a huge indoor snow sports and
entertainment facility located in the Mall of Emirates which is on Sheikh
Zayed Road in Dubai. The Mall of Emirates is one of the first super malls in Dubai
it is 233,467 square meters. The beautifully designed Mall ofl Emirates has
many shops but also includes the Magic Planet family entertainment area, VOX
cinemas, a 500 seat capacity divided community theater and art centre, 90
international dining and cafe options, and of course ski dubai. Exit the Dubai
Metro red line at the Mall of Emirates metro stop and then follow signs to the
Mall of Emirates and walk through an enclosed air-conditioned walkway.
Once in the Mall of Emirates follow the signs for Ski Dubai it would be about a
10 to 15 minute walk from the metro stop to Ski Dubai entrance. If you prefer you
can also take a taxi to the Mall of Emirates. You can also take the Dubai RTA
buses please check on the Dubai RTA bus or bus numbers and routes to the Mall of Emirates.
Ski Dubai is located on the ground floor of the Mall of Emirates next
to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant. We took the Dubai Metro red line and walked
leisurely through the Mall of Emirates. The Mall of Emirates is an ornately
decorated mall that's huge
What I appreciate about the Mall of Emirates was the food court which had a
good variety but don't expect it to be cheap. The food court is one floor above
Ski Dubai so we ended up at the Shake Shack restaurant for a quick lunch
before hitting the slopes. After lunch we took the escalator down
to the Ski Dubai entrance then walked to the ticket line. You can purchase tickets
online or purchase them when you arrive for full price. We recommend buying
online for discounts. We had a Go Dubai multi=attraction card which offers
discount deals. We've added a link on our website for your convenience. We showed
our Go Dubai card at the ticket counter and they scan it and issued us a ticket
which is in the form of a card for the polar pass. There's a lot of ticket
options to choose from but the one we chose, the polar pass, is
the general admission ticket. Please note also that children under the - age of 2
are not allowed. Once we got our ticket / cards we walk through the gift shop and
picked out our own gloves and there's also socks if needed. We exited to the
clothes and snow shoe counter. We waited in another queue to receive a ski jacket, pants,
and snow shoes. Opposite of this counter are the free lockers and dressing area
Simply use your ski dubai card to open and lock your locker
instructions are written on the lockers. Please note that you will put your ski
clothes over your street clothes. Right before you enter the ski dubai main
skiing area, there are helmets. Be sure to pick one up especially for kids. Once we
were ready, we placed our ski dubai card near the card reader and the doors of
the entrance opened for us. We walked through a cave-like area near the Penguins
experience and then into the main ski dubai arena. We were struck by the size
of the ski dubai arena. There are full ceilings to floor windows where people
from the mall can see inside ski Dubai. It was a bit surreal. You see people on the
outside of Ski Dubai wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts and here we are all
bundled up and the people inside are playing in the snow. We made our way to the bobsleds
which is much faster than I thought and we did this several more times. We then moved
to other snow fun like the giant tubing area. This was pretty fun. You could go by
yourself or have double tubes. Oddly there was even bumper cars which was
especially popular with our kids. FYI Ski Dubai is open from 10:00 a.m. to
midnight daily also the Polar Pass includes the unlimited access to the
snow park. and the giant ball, with one ride each on mountain thriller and
chairlift, and a pair of fleece gloves
This was a fun day at ski Dubai! It can take four or more hours depending on
your interest and how much time you spend on the other activities in the
Mall of Emirates. Happy Travels. Go to hipfig.com for more information or go to our Hipfig
