The artificial ski complex Ski Dubai, which is located in the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, sheltered a colony of king and Antarctic penguins and invites all visitors to get acquainted with them, or even make friends. The action "Make friends with a penguin" is being implemented as part of a program to preserve the diversity of the marine world and is aimed at expanding knowledge about this species of birds and their living conditions. Everyone, including children from 3 years old, can now chat with penguins in the conditions of their natural cold climate, specially created on the territory of the complex. The visit program, which is accompanied by a professional guide, includes the opportunity to observe the scuba diving and surface swimming of penguins, "live" communication with these funny birds and photographing for memory.
In addition, the Ski Dubai complex invites everyone to daily free performances of the “Penguin March”, when you can observe the habits and habits of birds during their walks in the “Snow Park”.

We are confident that lively communication with these funny birds and watching them will make an indelible impression on all family members and leave pleasant memories from visiting Ski Dubai "said Omar El Banna, marketing and sales director for Majid Al Futtaim Leisure & Entertainment.
