2.2-Hour or Full-Day Slope Session at Ski Dubai

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,202 reviews · from $68

Trade Dubai’s heat for Ski Dubai’s frozen slopes. Choose a 2-hour or full-day pass, use five runs including an indoor black run, and receive skis or a snowboard, boots, jacket, trousers, socks, and a locker. Bring your own gloves and ID.

“In my opinion, they wouldn't be ashamed of skiing like that even in Europe :) 2 hours of pleasant skiing, you get everything except a hat and gloves, you can bring them with you :) Good, even your own sweatshirt under the jacket you get, it's really cold. Only at the beginning you have to fill in a lot of information and it's slow. They could send it by email. Otherwise, thumbs up.”
