When you want to beat the blazing desert heat in Dubai, head on over to Ski Dubai and be plunged into the freezing temperatures of the winter wonderland that promises snowy fun for the whole family. When you’ve exhausted yourself with some serious snow play, rest and relax at one of the finest hotels in Palm Jumeirah such as the luxurious option of The Palm. With luxury amenities and a central location, it is the perfect Palm Jumeirah hotel to retreat to, after a day of playing in the snow at Ski Dubai, one of the country’s most popular attractions. Boasting 22,500 sqm of space for ample snow frolic, particularly skiing, ski enthusiasts will have a blast on the mountain, which extends to 85 metres and features five different slopes of varying ability to please everyone from cautious newbies to confident snow slickers. The range also features the world’s only indoor black run in the form of a 400-metre stretch. A comfortable ski lift is available to transport skiers to the top of the mountain. No need for gear or equipment; it’s all included in the price of admission. Non-skiers will also have a blast here, as there’s a fun Snow Park onsite that features tobogganing and sledding runs, an ice cave, climbing towers, an icy body slide and giant snowballs to hide behind during a snowball fight. You’ll also get the chance to make friends with real penguins who sometimes come out to play, subject to booking. With this many options for chilling in Dubai, what more do you need? Just a pair of legs to get you down here!
