“Ski Dubai is great my son he’s 13 had a great time he is a very experienced skier but they seem to put everyone all together so not experienced can be in the same area and unfortunately a couple of hours in a non experienced man came down the slope fell and hit my son I. The face with his ski poles causing him to have lots of cuts and bruises. I just think they should not mix in that way. But overall ski Dubai is a very fun experience.”
