The average summer temperature in Dubai is 36°c, which is obviously far too high for snow to naturally occur outside. The park itself requires an incredibly powerful air conditioning and insulation system in order to not only maintain snow, but to create it. It would be more or less impossible to keep a metal van cold enough to transport snow in Dubai, this is why Ski Dubai has to create its own snow. It manages this by using a high powered air conditioning system and complex insulation that keeps the cold in and the heat out. In order to preserve the snow in the daytime, the internal temperature at Ski Dubai is -1°c. At night, this drops to -6°c while new snow is being made.

Due to the high infant mortality rate or turtles, and the fact that they can take up to 30 years to reach sexual maturity, all species of turtle are on the endangered species list, making the work that the DTRP does incredibly important.
