Yes, its true- Dubai is home to an indoor ski slope and indoor ski mountain resort!

In the Middle East and Gulf region it can reach over 115 degrees outside but skiers of all ages enjoy the ski mountain and snowballs here year round.

Also known for the Tiger Woods Golf Tournament and the World’s Richest Horse Race, Dubai is home to several engineering marvels such as this Ski Dubai, the indoor ski resort as seen on The Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Modern Marvels and the Travel Channel.

In the booming economy of the Middle East, even a trip to the local shopping mall can be pretty exciting. In Dubai, This mall attracts locals and tourists alike. The most popular feature of the mall (and most notable) is Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort. From the outside of the mall you can see the construction needed to sustain the largest indoor ski resort, which features a full size ski mountain.

In addition to the ski resort, the mall has just about every kind of shop that you could think of. This includes many western brands, such as: Virgin Records, Starbucks Coffee, Borders Books, Cinnabon, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Monte Blanc, Channel and many others.

    I don’t give a tinker’s curse if they get 100,0000 customers. Dubai’s carbon footprint is a scandal. If I ever go to Dubai I might look inside this ski slope but I wouldn’t be so desperate to ski there.

    @kakmolnia
    HAHAH I agree with you, about what you said about er0288, he is probably just another skin head who cannot afford any of this luxury [not that i can] and he is just jealous well like you said it sure “BURN UNDER THE SKIN” for him! HAHA

  19. kel464 says:

    @er0288 Really? you …
    @er0288 Really? you are saying that the UAE is rich because of you buying the oil, well let me tell you something, even though i think the USA is the most fascinating country in the world (iam from Palestine) it is the people like you that give it a bad name. It is because of the oil that you are alive.
    Think about the uses of the oil, without it, all your military is down, transport….etc. And let us not mention how when the UAE raise the price of oil - just little, an ecnomic crisis falls.

  20. kakmolnia says:

    @er0288 yes it is …
    @er0288 yes it is because of oil. thats how you get powerful you sell product(or services) but mostly product in demand. how do you think america got so powerful in the first place…selling sht and getting rich. Dont get me wrong, america is the best place on earth, but sadly it doesnt feel like it will be for long. our govt is stupid and corrupt and our people are blind, lazy and dont give a fk as long as they have cheeseburgers and A/C. wealth is the key to power…remember that

    what the …

    @er0288
    what the is National Arab Emirates ?
    do you mean United Arab Emirates? maybe you should read something about UAE before posting. UAE is made from 7 Emirates, 98% of UAE oil is in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai rest 2% , that’s why Oil make less then 5% of Dubai economy .
    and no they don’t export oil to USA, but mostly to Asia (60% Japan )

  23. er0288 says:

    It is our money …
    It is our money because Dubai is in the National Arab Emirates. They are rich because of oil. And who do you think buys the majority of their oil? America. And as for them being able to do things we can’t, all of the architecture they have over there isn’t their own. It is mainly Dutch and German. Americans have made a good name for themselves through building great things such as the World Trade Center (which Arabs destroyed). The Arabs are not superior… just wealthier.

    If you bothered to look at my name and profile you would see that I am from Ireland. I would prefer to go to Europe where they have snow covered mountains, great scenery, and REAL SNOW, not in some shed in a shopping centre.
