Ski Dubai Indoor Ski 두바이 실내 스키장

This place was just amazing! in the middle of desert, we could ski on the snow!!! even in the summer when the temperature rises up to 130 F..

It was a really nice treat to have snow and cold toes:) we all had a great time!

Thank you James for taking us out!

it maintains the temperature between minus -3 C - 4 C but my toes were freezing 

and after about 4 hours of fun, 

we were ready to go home!  we PLAYED hard!

Snow tubing! it was so much fun!

Yes, there are penguins too!
