The story
Nestled within the Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is an improbable winter oasis in the desert — an indoor ski slope that offers a surreal escape from Dubai’s heat. With a 4.5-star rating, the venue attracts both tourists and locals looking for a novelty experience. As Giovanni Fois discovered during his first attempt at snowboarding, it’s a place where the thrill of learning on real snow meets the comfort of year-round climate control.
Fois described it as “expensive but a fun and unique experience,” capturing the trade-off that defines this artificial mountain. While not a restaurant — the menu here is all about the slopes — the venue’s appeal lies in its sheer audacity: a fully functional ski resort inside a shopping mall. For those willing to pay the premium, Ski Dubai delivers a memorable, family-friendly adventure that few cities can match.

Ski Dubai is an indoor ski slope inside the Mall of the Emirates where I tried to learn snowboarding for the first time; it's expensive but a fun and unique experience.
