The Ski Slope Will Be Three Times Longer Than Ski Dubai

The new slope will stretch along 1.2 km, about three times longer than Dubai’s current indoor slope, and nearly twice as long as the current world record holder in Germany. The project is estimated to cost $6.8 billion.

Meydan’s record breaking ski slope will be docked inside a 711m-high tower. Apart from the largest slop, the tower will also be home to a 25,000 sq metres indoor sports facility, a 5.3 km bicycle and jogging trail, a 9 km boardwalk, the biggest dancing fountains in the world,  and a civic plaza capable of hosting up to 60,000 people. Besides, there will also be a 100-berth marina.

The project also boasts a 300m long beach, located next to the aqua marine Crystal Lagoons. The new development will allow guests to swim, paddle, kayak, play beach volleyball and enjoy night light displays. In addition, guests will also have direct access to a new Water Park, beach bar and restaurants.
