I believe they used shallow ponds which freeze over during cold desert nights. The ice was skimmed off and taken to cold caves with straw insulation. That way, wealthy Arabs could have iced drinks at noon in the desert. What a status symbol! Added salt could give them a freezing mixture.russ_watters said:(where did they put it to freeze it?
