Turkey is one of those countries you will enjoy visiting all year long. During winter, you can pick amongst a dozen of ski resorts. The most popular one is Mount Palandoken. Great thing about this resort is that you can visit anytime from November to April, which is quite a long ski season. Moreover, this ski resort is also the resort of choice because of the quality of the snow and having the longest slopes of Turkey.

It is not possible to talk about skiing in the Middle East without mentioning indoor skiing. Ski Dubai has been around for 15 years already! Time flies, huh? Ski Dubai is the only way you can ski in the UAE. The indoor ski resort still offers 5 slopes and almost real-life skiing conditions. Think -1 degree all year long. One great thing about the indoor ski resort is the amount of options of packages. Corporate, birthday parties, school packages, and even the ski school. You may not know this, but another indoor ski resort is set to open any time soon in Muscat, Oman. It will be called Snow Village and located in the new Mall of Muscat.
