I give it 5 stars for the effort and the fact it exists in the middle of the desert, definitely. The slope is actually quite enjoyable and there’s even a jump park. Some of the locals are really good, doing somersaults and what not. The smaller things are a disappointment, however. E.g. the rental clothes don’t have any pockets. The staff at the rental obviously have only a vague idea about snow and equipment. There are no foot rests on the chairs so you get really tired with the snowboard dragging down one foot. And you’re not allowed to take it off on the lift either. I was shocked that I couldn’t charge my phone absolutely anywhere. My spare battery was dead, which was stupid of me, but I couldn’t believe that they don’t have a single power bank or iPhone charger anywhere. The socks they give are super low (quality and ankle-wise). Gloves are passable but not much better. For all this effort it could all be a lot higher quality to leave a perfect impression.

Hello everyone An extraordinary entertainment in the middle of the desert and 40 degrees of heat. I highly recommend visiting, it's very cool and unusual. It's such a miracle right in the mall. Penguins walk there, there are different penguins, they arrange a show with them. We were there with the children, a lot of emotions, positivity, rolled up there on everything you can think of in winter. When we went there, my son fell straight with a star on the snow, after 40 degrees of heat outside) We drank hot chocolate there and looked at penguins and mountains of snow, a very cool place. We even rode electric cars there. It will be interesting for children of any age. Who came up with this, just Oscar to him)

We attended the program "meeting with the penguin", in 40 minutes, the cost is 240 ARD, children and adults - the price is the same. Children under the age of 14 are not allowed without parents. In rubles, this is about 18,000, for 3 people, for 40 minutes. At the same time, you touch the penguin for a couple of minutes. You will be shown one royal penguin and one penguin of the second kind. They will tell you about their breeds and all this in English, they don't even bother for children, let the parents translate everything. You can also not take pictures and shoot there, then you will be sold a photo, for 1 photo 150 ARD(4900₽!) There is no show there!!! A penguin just walks around and eats fish from the trainer's hands. 😡 Not wow at all!

What can I say, skiing in the middle of the desert is cool👍, outside +28, inside -4, all equipment is included in the price of the visit. Changing rooms, an equipment store, there is everything you need for a comfortable stay.

I didn't even think that such a unique place could be created under the roof. The height of the slope is the same as few St. Petersburg slopes. The atmosphere of winter is wonderful. Probably one of the cheapest places to spend time doing sports 02:00 skiing 250 AED

The most interesting thing about this place is that you can touch real penguins there. All clothes and equipment for staying in the park are given out when buying a ticket. In addition to penguins, you can take a walk there, ride down the slides, but nothing can compare with penguins in terms of impressions.

The trails are short, but it's real snow when it's +50C outside
