Dubai Snowdome
Dubai Snowdome is a proposed indoor ski resort located in Dubailand. The project is financed and developed by 32Group. The snowdome is a AED 3.7 billion (US$1 billion) development which will cover an area of 130,000 square metres (1,400,000 sq ft) and was expected to be completed by late 2008. The opening date was delayed due to construction being currently halted as a part of the Dubailand project, which itself is now on hold by the government of Dubai.
