Dress in layers
The slope is kept near freezing—wear a thermal base, fleece, and a waterproof outer layer provided or brought along for warmth between runs.
Protect your hands
Bring or rent insulated waterproof gloves—fingers get cold quickly when handling poles, equipment, or playing in the snow.
Arrive early to avoid traffic
Allow extra time for return to Cairo or Giza—the private transfer includes hotel pickup but Cairo traffic can add 30–60 minutes.
Mind health restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions—consult the operator and your physician if unsure.
Thermal base layer
Keeps you warm in the facility’s sub-zero-feel environment between runs.
Waterproof insulated gloves
