Top 12 things to do in UAE malls: Indoor rollercoaster in Dubai to Abu Dhabi's snow park


  • English
  • Arabic

Malls in the UAE offer much more than only shops and food courts. They have transformed into entertainment complexes, complete with different activities for all ages and energy levels.

From a snow park to a roller coaster, there are plenty of things to check out if you fancy high-adrenalin indoor fun, especially during hot summer months.

Here, The National rounds up some of the in-mall attractions in the UAE to check out.

Snow Abu Dhabi, Reem Mall

Brought to the UAE capital by the makers of the popular Ski Dubai, Snow Abu Dhabi is sub-zero indoor park that opened recently at Reem Mall.

The 9,732-square-metre facility is on the second level of the new mall, and features a number of snow-themed activities, such as the Troll Bowl, where visitors get inside an inflatable ball that rolls down a snowy slope, as well as the Flight of the Snowy Owl, a suspended rollglider that travels around the park.

Unlike Ski Dubai, Snow Abu Dhabi does not offer a skiing experience. There are restaurants and cafes inside the enchanted forest-themed snow park.

Open daily; 10am-10pm, Sunday to Thursday, 10am-midnight, Friday to Saturday; from Dh215; Reem Mall, Al Reem Island; skidxb.com

Play DXB, Dubai Mall

Being the largest mall in the UAE, Dubai Mall has plenty of indoor attractions, one of which is a virtual reality-theme park called Play DXB.

It's a cross between an arcade and an amusement park with rides, but all the activities are modernised by VR. The two-storey venue is ideal for a family day out, with rides and games for all ages.

Open daily; 10am-10pm, Monday to Thursday; 10am-midnight, Friday to Sunday; from Dh200; Downtown Dubai; entertainment.emaar.com

The Storm Coaster, Dubai Hills Mall

One of the newer shopping centres in the emirate, Dubai Hills Mall houses the world's “fastest indoor roller coaster”.

Perfect for adrenalin junkies, The Storm Coaster is described as a "multivehicle inversion coaster wrapping its way throughout the entire building”. A single ride lasts about two minutes.

Open daily, 10am-10pm; Dh55; Dubai Hills; entertainment.emaar.com

Immersive Gamebox, City Centre Mirdif and City Centre Al Zahia

The UK gaming company has brought its Immersive Gamebox concept to the UAE earlier this year.

Located inside the Magic Planet outlets of both City Centre Mirdif in Dubai and City Centre Al Zahia in Sharjah, the gaming zone uses high-tech rooms equipped with patented touch screens, 3D motion tracking and surround sound.

The experience is similar to playing virtual reality games, but promise an almost gearless experience.

The games, which are also available in Arabic, are made for two to six players, with each player required to wear a visor. There are currently 12 titles to choose from, including the popular Squid Game and Angry Birds. They typically run for 15 to 30 minutes – but some titles last up to an hour.

Open daily; 10am-10pm, Monday to Thursday, 10am-midnight, Friday to Sunday; from Dh45; City Centre Mirdif and City Centre Al Zahia; immersivegamebox.com

Need to know

The flights: Flydubai flies from Dubai to Kilimanjaro airport via Dar es Salaam from Dh1,619 return including taxes. The trip takes 8 hours. 

The trek: Make sure that whatever tour company you select to climb Kilimanjaro, that it is a reputable one. The way to climb successfully would be with experienced guides and porters, from a company committed to quality, safety and an ethical approach to the mountain and its staff. Sonia Nazareth booked a VIP package through Safari Africa. The tour works out to $4,775 (Dh17,538) per person, based on a 4-person booking scheme, for 9 nights on the mountain (including one night before and after the trek at Arusha). The price includes all meals, a head guide, an assistant guide for every 2 trekkers, porters to carry the luggage, a cook and kitchen staff, a dining and mess tent, a sleeping tent set up for 2 persons, a chemical toilet and park entrance fees. The tiny ration of heated water provided for our bath in our makeshift private bathroom stall was the greatest luxury. A standard package, also based on a 4-person booking, works out to $3,050 (Dh11,202) per person.

When to go: You can climb Kili at any time of year, but the best months to ascend  are  January-February and September-October.  Also good are July and August, if you’re tolerant of the colder weather that winter brings.

Do not underestimate the importance of kit. Even if you’re travelling at a relatively pleasant time, be geared up for the cold and the rain.

Classification of skills

A worker is categorised as skilled by the MOHRE based on nine levels given in the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) issued by the International Labour Organisation. 

A skilled worker would be someone at a professional level (levels 1 – 5) which includes managers, professionals, technicians and associate professionals, clerical support workers, and service and sales workers.

The worker must also have an attested educational certificate higher than secondary or an equivalent certification, and earn a monthly salary of at least Dh4,000.

TERMINAL HIGH ALTITUDE AREA DEFENCE (THAAD)

What is THAAD?

It is considered to be the US's most superior missile defence system.

Production:

It was created in 2008.

Speed:

THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.

Abilities:

THAAD is designed to take out  ballistic missiles as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".

Purpose:

To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.

Range:

THAAD can target projectiles inside and outside the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 150 kilometres above the Earth's surface.

Creators:

Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.

UAE and THAAD:

In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then stationed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
