Finally, we managed to find time to visit the famous ski resort and amusement park in Dubai.
It is located in the Mall of Emirates shopping complex.
I really liked this complex, we rode all the slides once and took a ride on the cable car.
I think we spent about an hour there. I was very cold. The temperature was about -5, but it felt like -15, and my fingers couldn’t get warm even with gloves on. Either I’m not used to the cold anymore, or the artificially created atmosphere feels different. I didn’t regret going, even though I caught a cold by the evening. It was very interesting, the architects who created this complex are simply amazing, to create such a wonder in the middle of hot, sandy Dubai.

This park has a 60-metre lift with 5 slopes of varying steepness and difficulty. There is a 90-metre snowboard track. Lifts are available to transport skiers and snowboarders to the top of the hill. The slope is surrounded by an area of about 3,000 square metres with various toboggan runs, rock climbing ledges, an ice cave and a cinema. Warm clothing, skis and snowboards are also available for visitors. However, the key to the locker where you can leave your clothes is paid separately. Every two hours, there is a small show with penguins.
