  • Oh what fun: There will be plenty of sporting activities including sledding and skiing.

    Children and adults will not be short of options for entertainment with a wide range of fun festive activities at Ski Dubai’s Winter Wonderland.

    The venue at Mall of the Emirates is the ultimate indoor snow resort and the only one in the Middle East region.

    With an amazing mountain-wintery setting and temperatures ranging from -1 to -20 degrees, Ski Dubai has become a prominent attraction for residents and visitors in the UAE. And this month, it will attract even more visitors, bringing joy to people of all ages.

    Kids will certainly have something to smile about with Santa handing out gifts himself until December 24 in his grotto. On top of that, they can take a picture of themselves in the ‘Elf Pod’ and share their e-cards on social media channels.

    There is something for the whole family as they can get to grips with exciting activities including the sledging hill, giving thrill-seekers a memorable experience as they slide down the snow-filled slope and receive a skiing lesson.

    Since opening earlier this month, the Winter Wonderland, which closes on January 2, has proved to be hugely popular and Ski Dubai staff promises it will be a visit everyone will remember.

    Omar El Banna, marketing and business development director at Majid Al Futtaim – Leisure & Entertainment, said: “Christmas is a time of year that many residents in Dubai and across the UAE look forward to.

    Season’s greetings: Santa Claus will be on had to provide a warm welcome.

    "For most, the prospect of a white Christmas is something they never thought they would be able to experience in the Middle East.

    “As Ski Dubai is the only place in the UAE where visitors are guaranteed snow at Christmas, we want to ensure it is extra special.

    "The festive season is the time of year for coming together and creating memories with loved ones, and there is no better place to do this during the holiday season than at Ski Dubai.

    "With something to get the whole family in the Christmas spirit the festivities see Ski Dubai continue to create great moments for everyone, every day.”

    Admission is Dh100 per person for the Santa Pass. Alternatively, Power Passes, costing Dh325 per person can also be purchased with Snow Park access which includes a Santa visit and the option to book either a penguin encounter, Snow Bullet ride or a ski lesson.
