A profligate waste that's very on-brand for Dubai. Glacial ice doesn't taste great anyway, because it's pretty much distilled water.

Surely taking cold things away from the waters there contributes to the warming of the area? In order for that ice to melt it has to take warm from the area surrounding it doesn't it?
Taking that ice away then is highly morally bankrupt, surely.

A bit of ice sold to Dubai is nothing compared to the hauls of water shipped around the world. This is plastic straw level of complaining.

And Saudi Arabia maintains several pieces of land w/ water rights to import & extract water as alfaalfa. You’d think they’d leverage their oil and build out desalination plants

Yes, we need to pay more for CO₂ in Europe. That’ll show 'em.

Their website appears to be targeting hotels, restaurants, and bars. I find it hard to believe that patrons are going to know where the ice in their mixed drink is from.
