Dubai, July 23, 2025 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – As summer holidays begin across the region, Dubai is inviting families to explore a wide array of indoor leisure attractions as part of the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign, offering enriching, air-conditioned escapes from the heat.

Aimed at promoting family bonding, learning, and entertainment, the initiative aligns with Dubai’s vision to become the world’s best city to work, live, and visit. Public and private sector efforts have contributed to building a world-class infrastructure in hospitality and entertainment, establishing the city as a premier global tourism hub.

Among the highlights is Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski venue in the Middle East, located in Mall of the Emirates. With one of the world’s longest indoor ski slopes and an interactive summer camp for children, the venue also features a 3,000-square-metre Snow Park and penguin encounters.
