Residents’ special
Ski Dubai has announced a special residents’ rate to give back to UAE citizens and residents, looking for some snow and savings this year. UAE residents can enjoy the great savings on both the Ski Dubai Slope Pass and Super Pass. Ideal for first-timers to Ski Dubai’s iconic slopes or for residents keen to brush-up on their ski and snowboarding skills, the residents’ rate sees visitors enjoy a three hour slope pass for just Dhs 160, normally costing Dhs 200 for two hours. Alternatively the Super Pass offers fantastic value with residents able to enjoy a full day’s access to the park for just Dhs 160, including use of the Snow Park facilities as well as the Chairlift ride and access to Avalanche café. The 20% savings are available for UAE residents when providing a valid Emirates ID, UAE driving license or labour card. This rate is not valid during public and school holidays. Visit www.skidxb.com.
