Ski Egypt
6th of October City (Greater Cairo), Egypt
First indoor ski slope in Africa (skiresort.com, TechnoAlpin)
Africa's only indoor ski slope is inside the Mall of Egypt on Cairo's western edge. The 210 m run suits beginners and families rather than keen skiers, but it's a good novelty stop on an Egypt trip.
Pros
- The only real-snow slope in Africa
- Open late, 10:00-22:00
- Good for a first try on skis
Cons
- Short and gentle, with only about 30 m vertical
- Mainly beginner terrain
- Far from central Cairo
