muscat, 2016 & 2017
A complete winter attraction by Desert Snow
Commissioned directly by Omran, Desert Snow was tasked with transforming the outdoor gardens of the newly opened Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre into an immersive family winter attraction.
Across two consecutive seasons (2016 and 2017), the installation featured a Glice rink, gloves slide, bouncy castle, maze, Snow Fight Zone, falling snow, and festoon lighting throughout the site.
Desert Snow also applied artificial snow dressing to trees and landscaping, creating a soft, cinematic winter atmosphere that contrasted beautifully with the modern architecture of the convention complex.
Design & Technical Delivery
Desert Snow delivered a complete turnkey winter activation for Omran, balancing visual spectacle with public safety and operational efficiency.
The Glice rink provided a sustainable skating experience without refrigeration, complemented by a gloves slide, inflatable play areas, and a maze designed for family participation.
Overhead falling snow and festoon lighting unified the garden environment, while snow-dressed trees and pathwayscreated the illusion of a continuous snowfall. The addition of a Snow Fight Zone gave children a playful, interactive space that became a highlight of the event.
