Snow Abu Dhabi

Snow Abu Dhabi is a real-snow attraction built into Reem Mall, one of the largest indoor snow parks in the world. Rather than a single ski slope it leans towards a snow-themed adventure park, with sledging, tubing and more than twenty rides and attractions set among the drifts, all kept crisply below freezing. It is designed for families and casual visitors more than serious skiers, with warm gear provided so you can arrive straight off the street. Younger children are well catered for with gentle play areas and carousels. It makes an easy cold-weather escape from the Gulf heat.

It is a rare chance to spend an afternoon in real snow in the middle of the desert capital, with enough rides and play areas to keep a whole family entertained. Come for the novelty and the sub-zero break from the heat.
