How did people get ice in the ancient day

by ScabberDabber25

I keep seeing in documents abo it rich people having ice but I can’t wrap my head on how Suliman would store his ice and get it all the way from wherever he got his ice without it melting in the middle of the desert

VerisimilarPLS

While more can always be said, here's some previous responses for you:

u/Valmyr5 on " Before the refrigeration, were equatorial (or other hotter climate) civilizations aware of the existence of ice?"

u/Bentresh on "How did ancient civilizations living near the equator (e.g. Egyptians) get/make ice?"

u/J-force on "In "Kingodm of Heaven", the movie, Saladin offers a cup of water with ice to the king of Jerusalem. How in that period (1186) and in that place (Palestine) they were able to "create" and keep ice?"

Edit: and for early-19th century North America, u/MrDowntown's response to "Before refrigeration, people had iceboxes. But if refrigeration didn't exist, where was the ice coming from and how did it get places without melting?"
