Snow Dunes



Qatar's first activity park built around snow is a thrilling experience for children as they slide, tube and play in real snow.

Snow Dunes is a fun activity park in the Doha Festival Mall where kids and adults can play in real snow. Qatar has a hot climate. As a result, young children living here may never have seen snow. Visit Snow Dunes for a wintery experience that will keep your offspring entertained for several hours.

Qatar's first snow-themed activity park opened in August 2019 and was an eagerly anticipated event by many local families. The 100,000-square-foot (9,500-square-meter) venue has snow-covered slopes built around a mock-up of an Arabian castle. Inside, touch the real snow that is created by 14 snow guns in a temperature of about 25 F (-4 C).

Bring your kids to Snow Dunes to give them a sample of what a vacation might be like in a wintry location. Upon arrival, have fun dressing up in snow gear, including jacket, snowpants, boots, gloves and a helmet.

Inside the frigid space, scale a mini mountain, have a snowball fight and build a snowman. The cool temperature here is a welcome change from Doha’s outside heat.

Snow Dunes has snow-covered slopes that children can ride tubes down and race against friends or families. Feel the chill wind on your face as you slide very fast through a closed tube. A smaller and slower version of this ride is available for younger kids, as well as a snowy merry-go-round.

Other facilities at Snow Dunes include a restaurant and café. Warm yourself with a hot tea or coffee or enjoy a meal in the restaurant. Snow Dunes is open throughout the week and has three different ticket admission prices. Visit the Snow Dunes website for further details.

Find Snow Dunes inside the Doha Festival City, north of the city center. Drive about 20 minutes to get here. You can also take a bus from central Doha, which stops right outside. Doha Festival City is known as one of the best malls in Doha. You’ll find plenty of off-piste activities at the mall, including visiting some of the 400 stores and 100 different restaurants and snack bars.
