Dive into winter fun in sunny Dubai

Over the past ten years, Dubai has become a real Mecca of tourism and a point of attraction for people from all over the world. In this rapidly developing city, new places for entertainment and media content creation are emerging at an incredible rate. And if at first it seems that the creativity of builders and entrepreneurs will be limited to the conditions of a hot climate and the scope of appropriate entertainment, then we hasten to convince you. Here you will not only find yourself in a world of sand, hot desert sun, clear sea and great luxury, but you will be able to enjoy winter entertainment in the snow and on ice. But how is this possible? And that's what we're going to tell you now.

It is always very hot in the desert, and Dubai's geographical location makes it one of the hottest cities on the planet. However, this does not in any way reduce its attractiveness for tourists, but still, when the sun is at its zenith, it is better to hide somewhere in a cooler place. And the Dubai Ice Rink will be an excellent choice.

Dubai Ice Rink is one of the main entertainment venues in The Dubai Mall, which itself is one of the largest entertainment and shopping malls in the world. The Dubai Ice Rink is located on the ground floor and is the size of Olympic rinks, which allows a large number of people to simultaneously get a lot of impressions when skating on ice. But independent skating is not the only function of the Dubai Ice Rink. Here you can take professional figure skating lessons, participate in a hockey match and become a viewer of the real dance show, all under the guidance of professional instructors! Thanks to the use of the most modern technologies, the Dubai Ice Rink is a perfectly smooth mirror, which is a pleasure to ride on, and the presence of more than 2000 pairs of skates of all colors and sizes will allow you to choose them exactly for you!

If skiing is not about you, and you prefer skiing or snowboarding, in this case, welcome to Ski Dubai. This is a whole ski resort located right in the mall, which is incredible in itself! But even more surprising is the variety of activities available to visitors.

Right there. They're penguins! And you were not mistaken. Ski Dubai has emperor penguins that you can get to know intimately and take the coolest selfie in the world. But if you are serious sports fans and you are not up to such children's games, then welcome to the steep ski slope. Put on your skis or snowboard, get equipped and go ahead to meet the adrenaline and speed!
