The first group of penguins to be hosted in Egypt will make their debut appearance in the country's only indoor ski resort Ski Egypt next week, the resort said on Wednesday.
"After a long wait, the Arctic penguins are coming on 1 July," Ski Egypt said on its official Facebook page, and urged users to follow the group of Gentoo penguins' most prominent member, Sultan, on his official Instagram page.
The penguins first arrived in Cairo from Japan in February to be displayed in the indoor ski resort at The Mall of Egypt, located in the 6 October district on the outskirts of Cairo.
Airport sources said at the time that the 10 penguins underwent veterinary checkups and were set to be transferred in air-conditioned vehicles to their new residence.
This is reportedly the first time that the aquatic, flightless birds, which spend much of their lives in the water, will be put on display in the hot and dry country.
