Riyadh is set to transform into a snowy paradise with the opening of the Ski Slope and Snow Park at the Mall of Saudi

A breathtaking new attraction that promises to bring winter magic to the desert is set to arrive in Riyadh, a city that may not be known for its snowfall. The Mall of Saudi, a ground-breaking mega-project scheduled to open in early 2026, will host the world's first indoor snow experience, the Ski Slope and Snow Park.

An Alpine Adventure in the Heart of Riyadh

The Ski Slope and Snow Park will be an enormous 40,000 square meters in size, offering visitors exciting rides for all ages. Even during Riyadh's hottest months, the location offers a year-round snowy getaway, complete with family-friendly attractions and the opportunity to glide down the area's longest indoor hill.

To create a realistic winter picture with the charm of a true Alpine hideaway, the snow park will be well-kept with trees and enhanced by projected images of majestic mountains. Visitors will be able to interact with the park's resident penguins in addition to enjoying thrilling attractions designed to captivate young, adventurous Saudis.

Mall of Saudi: A Destination Like No Other

  • Six luxury hotels to accommodate international and local visitors.
  • 1,600 residential units within an integrated community.
  • The world’s largest snow dome, making the Mall of Saudi a truly unparalleled attraction in the region.

Snowy Fun for the Whole Family
