What Ski Dubai costs

Ski Dubai charges AED 240 (age 3+), unlimited chairlift/draglift, free locker, gear rental included. Ski Dubai's own Snow Park page states "All prices are inclusive of 5% VAT".

Every figure above comes from the venue’s own published information on the date shown at the foot of this page. Prices in Dubai move, particularly around Ramadan, public holidays and the start of a new season, so treat the verification date as part of the price.

How much is a Ski Dubai slope pass?

A 2-hour Slope Pass is AED 240 and a full-day Slope Pass is AED 340, both for age 3 and up. Both include unlimited chairlift and draglift access, a free locker, and gear rental.

Is clothing included in the ticket price?

Slope passes include gear rental. Some packages, such as the Morning Hike and Freestyle Night, separately state that clothing rental is included; confirm exactly what is bundled with the pass you select at checkout on the operator's own site.

What is the Snow Park pass at Ski Dubai?

Ski Dubai now prices four Snow Park passes on its own passes page: Snow Base AED 190, Snow Park Pass AED 249, Snow Daycation AED 335 and Snow Premium AED 499 per person, under a "special weekday pricing" banner. Snow Base covers one-time Snow Park access, unlimited rides, the daily Penguin March, clothing rental and fleece gloves; the dearer passes add chairlift rides, the Mountain Thriller and, at the top, a Penguin Encounter and Snow Bullet zipline rides. Prices are stated to include 5% VAT.

Is there an age limit at Ski Dubai?

Slope passes admit guests aged 3 and up. Guests aged 2 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult holding a valid ticket for both slope and Snow Park areas.

Where is Ski Dubai located?

Ski Dubai is inside Mall of the Emirates on Sheikh Zayed Road, directly connected to the Mall of the Emirates metro station on the Red Line.

What time is the penguin show at Ski Dubai?

Ski Dubai does not publish a fixed daily schedule of penguin show or Penguin Encounter times on skidxb.com. The Penguin Encounter is booked online for a specific time slot, and guests are asked to arrive 40 minutes before their chosen slot; check availability and times directly on the operator's booking page.

What is the Penguin Encounter at Ski Dubai?

The Penguin Encounter is a separate, up-to-40-minute experience with an interactive educational session, underwater viewing and a meet-and-greet with Ski Dubai's penguins, plus a free standard locker; groups are capped at 12 people and it does not include Snow Park access. Ski Dubai's own site does not publish a standalone AED price for it, so check current pricing at booking.

What is Ski Dubai's phone number?

Ski Dubai's official website does not publish a phone number; it directs enquiries to a contact form at skidxb.com/en-ae/ski-dubai/contact-us. No phone number for Ski Dubai could be confirmed on an official source at this time.

How much does it cost to get into Ski Dubai?

Ski Dubai charges AED 240 (age 3+), unlimited chairlift/draglift, free locker, gear rental included. That is the venue’s own published figure on the verification date at the foot of this page; entry fees in Dubai change seasonally, so confirm before you travel.

What are Ski Dubai's working hours?

They differ by day. Ski Dubai does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.

Is Ski Dubai open today?

Ski Dubai publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.

What is Ski Dubai's ticket price today?

AED 240 (age 3+), unlimited chairlift/draglift, free locker, gear rental included — that is the operator’s current published figure, checked on the date shown at the foot of this page. We re-check it when the operator changes it or a reader tells us it has moved.

Where can I read reviews of Ski Dubai?

Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.

Is Ski Dubai Penguin Encounter the same as Ski Dubai?

Yes. Ski Dubai is also written as Ski Dubai Penguin Encounter. They all refer to the same venue described on this page.

When were these Ski Dubai details last checked?

Every opening time, price and contact detail on this page was checked against Ski Dubai’s own published sources on 3 September 2026. The sources used are listed at the foot of the page, and where the venue publishes nothing we say so rather than filling the gap. If something here is out of date, tell us — we re-check it against the venue’s own source and record the change in our corrections log.

Age, weight, height and medical conditions here are transcribed from the operator’s own published requirements on the date shown. They are the operator’s rules, enforced at its desk, and they change without notice. Nothing here is a medical opinion or a clearance to take part — if a condition applies to you, ask the operator and your doctor, not this page.
