Snow Dunes
Snow Dunes, located in Doha Festival City, is a unique indoor snow park that has families an arctic adventure in the middle of the desert. Covering an area of 9,500 square meters, a constant temperature of -4 degrees Celsius is maintained to create an authentic winter landscape with real snow. The park's theme is a fantastical Arabian story about a cold snowstorm rising over the desert. Visitors are transported to the 'Qasr Al-Aswad' (Black Castle) and experience a world full of snow. The park provides a variety of attractions, including twelve different slides such as the 'White Dunes' and 'Snow Motion' for fast descents. There is also a snow play area where children can build snowmen and have snowball fights. A carousel with snow animals and a climbing area provide additional entertainment. For those who prefer something quieter, the 'Ice-Skating Café' features a cozy atmosphere. All equipment, including warm clothing and boots, is provided on-site. Snow Dunes is a welcome escape from the heat of Qatar and a magical place for the whole family.
