Snow Oman Opening

Snow Oman in the new Mall of Oman is due to open on December 24th, bringing snow to the Arabian sultanate for the first time.
The facility has been developed by the Majid Al Futtaim group, famous for Ski Dubai and more recently Ski Egypt, but as the name change implies, the Oman facility will be about snow, not skiing.
The indoor snow park, which is spread over 14,830 square metres, features around a dozen 'rides' and snow and ice fun attractions, many combining traditional Arabian themes, with snow.
The Majid Al Futtaim signature attraction of indoor king and gentoo penguins have also arrived. The Majid Al Futtaim Group say their presence helps fund scientific research into the penguins in the wild.
There's a frozen Omani port town complete with shipwreck and a frozen lighthouse and an Ice Skating Trail designed for both novice and experienced ice skaters. There';s also sledging on snow-covered 'desert dunes'.
