Ski Dubai tickets are your entry to real snow inside a shopping mall. That sounds impossible until you walk in from the Mall of the Emirates and feel the cold air.
The hard part is not the cold. It is the tickets. There are Snow Park passes, slope passes, family packs and lessons, and picking the wrong one wastes money fast.
This guide to Ski Dubai tickets keeps it simple: what each ticket costs, what it includes, and which one fits you, whether you ski or have never touched snow in your life.
Quick facts
Ski Dubai is inside the Mall of the Emirates on Sheikh Zayed Road in Al Barsha. Do not confuse it with Dubai Mall. They are two different malls. Ski Dubai is served directly by the Mall of the Emirates Metro Station on the Red Line. You can check current Ski Dubai tickets and passes on the official Ski Dubai website.
Opening hours, as printed on the official site: Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Friday 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM, and Saturday to Sunday 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM. First tickets are issued earlier than opening on some days, and last tickets at 9:30 PM (Monday to Thursday) or 10:30 PM (Friday to Sunday), so check your slot before you go.
Ski Dubai tickets: Snow Park prices
Ski Dubai tickets for the Snow Park are for everyone, including people who do not ski. All prices below are per person and include VAT.

- Snow Park Pass, age 2 and up: AED 269. Everything in Snow Base, plus one chairlift ride and one Mountain Thriller, a free hot chocolate and a free locker.
- Snow Daycation, age 2 and up: AED 355. The best seller.

- Snow Premium, age 3 and up: AED 499. The all-inclusive option. It adds the Penguin Encounter and 2 Snow Bullet rides as standard, one photo in the Snow Park, a standard locker with hand warmers and waterproof gloves, and the same choice of slope pass or lesson.
Family prices: Snow Daycation for 4 people costs AED 1,065, described as 4 for the price of 3. Snow Premium for 4 costs AED 1,497.
Young children must be accompanied by an adult holding a valid ticket. The official site prints this age rule two ways on the same page, so if your child is 13 or 14, confirm the rule for your booking date before you buy.
Ski Dubai tickets: slope prices
The slope is only for experienced skiers and snowboarders. Beginners cannot just buy Ski Dubai tickets for the slope and go. All prices are per person.
- 2 hours slope, age 3 and up: AED 240. Two hours of slope access, unlimited chairlifts and draglifts, a free locker, and clothing and equipment rental.
- Full day slope, age 3 and up: AED 370. The same inclusions for the full day.
- 1 month slope membership, age 3 and up: AED 1,250.
Which Ski Dubai ticket should you buy?
If you do not ski, buy a Snow Park ticket. The Snow Park Pass at AED 269 is the best value for most visitors, because it adds the chairlift, the Mountain Thriller, hot chocolate and a locker to the basic entry. If you also want a meal and a penguin encounter or a lesson, the Snow Daycation at AED 355 works out cheaper than buying those separately.
If you ski and you are experienced, buy the slope pass. Two hours at AED 240 suits most visitors. Only buy the full day at AED 370 if you plan to ski most of the day.
If you are a family of four, check the Ski Dubai tickets family packs first. The Daycation family price saves you one full ticket compared with buying four singles.
If you have never skied but want to try, do not buy a slope pass. Pick the Daycation or Premium and use the included lesson instead. That is the safe way to learn.
No weekday and weekend price difference
One useful fact from the official booking check: the same Ski Dubai tickets cost the same on a Saturday and a Monday. The Snow Park Pass was AED 269 on both days, and the 2-hour slope pass was AED 240 on both days, with VAT included. So unlike some Dubai attractions, you do not save money by going on a weekday. Go on a weekday only if you want smaller crowds.
What is included, and what costs extra?
All Ski Dubai tickets include outfit and equipment rental, so you do not need your own ski clothes. Most passes also include a free locker, except Snow Base, which does not list one. Paid add-ons in booking include a locker at AED 35, waterproof gloves at AED 50 and a beanie at AED 75, so the Snow Park Pass and above save you those small costs too.
Tips for your visit
Arrive for your ticket slot, not just the opening hour, because first and last ticket times differ from opening hours. Wear warm layers under the rented outfit, and bring socks. If anyone in your group is a first-time skier, book the lesson option rather than slope access. And remember the mall point again: Ski Dubai is in the Mall of the Emirates, not Dubai Mall, so set your metro stop and taxi destination correctly. Buy your Ski Dubai tickets online before you go to skip the counter queue.

Final thoughts
Ski Dubai works for two very different visitors: families who want snow play without skiing, and experienced skiers who want real slopes indoors. The mistake is buying the wrong ticket for your group. Non-skiers should stay in the Snow Park, skiers should buy slope time, and families of four should check the family packs before buying singles. Get that choice right and Ski Dubai tickets give you one of the most fun winter days out in Dubai. For more Dubai ideas, see our Things To Do in Dubai guide.
