The largest indoor snow park in the MENA region will be open to the public on Saturday.
Tickets to book for a visit to the coolest must-visit entertainment avenue that adds a great deal to the Sultanate’s ambitious tourism development initiatives went online earlier, fetched a great response from the yearning visitors.
Located inside the Mall of Oman, Snow Oman covers a sprawling area of 14,830 square metres with a “Desert Blizzard” theme, a reimagined world where Oman’s cityscapes and sand dunes are covered in real snow.
The one-of-its-kind destination, conceptualised and implemented by Majid al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, will feature family-friendly rides such as the Mountain Thriller, Snow Bullet, Slide Winder, Cloud Climber, and Zorb Ball, unique attractions such as Cold Town Muscat, Frozen Shipwreck and Lighthouse, and a 475-square metre ice rink. Like its sister brands Ski Dubai and Ski Egypt, Snow Oman is now home to a colony of king and gentoo penguins who are provided with the best possible care in a custom-built penguinarium.
Speaking to the Observer, a media representative from the Group said that tickets are currently available on sale on snowoman.com.
"This is not the first time that an indoor snow experience is offered in the region. In 2005, the same group pioneered the first, sub-zero leisure offering in the Mall of the Emirates: Ski Dubai. The award-winning experience has been recognised as the World’s Best Indoor Ski Resort by the prestigious World Ski Awards for seven consecutive years. In 2017, Ski Egypt opened in the Mall of Egypt and set an all-new record for being the first of its kind in the African continent," she added.
