The BEST place to see Ski Dubai without paying a penny

Ski Dubai is a very cool tourist attraction in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates where they BUILT SKI SLOPES inside a mall.  I’d say Ski Dubai is worth seeing for no other reason that to say, “been there.” They built a way to SKI IN THE DESERT…you should see that at least once. The problem…it’s HELLA expensive especially if you aren’t going to hit the slopes and fully enjoy the experience. Well I just visited and did all the reconnaissance so that you know exactly THE BEST place to see Ski Dubai without paying a penny.

Follow the signs

The secret is to head upstairs and walk until you see MIU.

If you’re hungry or thirsty you could go into MIU and request a table by the window. You can sit back and watch people Ski, Luge, fall on their bums all you want. But you’ll have a bill to pay.

    Sorry I don’t get it ( the point of the post) anyone going to the mall their going so see the skiing from either the upper level or lower. McDonald’s has chairs right there overlooking the skiing, You can also walk down in the ski shop and ask to “peek” in as well.

    Do buy a “Ski Dubai” T Shirt for all your friends . I actually have a friend that learned to ski there !
