An ideal respite from the heat awaits customers at the Arabian Center, the latest hotspot for shopping, leisure and entertainment located on Al Khawaneej Road, Dubai. The skating rink, which opened at the beginning of Dubai Summer Surprises 2010, has soon become the coolest hangout to learn and enjoy skating. The customers have also been able to train with professional instructors and pick up on smooth skating moves.
The specially made skating rink at Arabian Center has been built using environmentally friendly synthetic ice. With no energy, water and electricity required for the maintenance of the skating rink, the mall has taken the eco-friendly route in giving maximum entertainment to its customers.
Commenting on the skating rink, Ms. Julia Ikonnikova, the skating coach at the mall and show organizer with Skating First, said, “Skating is one of the most relaxing yet invigorating forms of sport. The best time to pick up this sport is while still young. We have been absolutely amazed by the skills and enthusiasm shown by the kids who have been training with us this month. Who would have thought a desert land could produce such remarkable skaters.â€
The skating trainers, having performed and competed at numerous international platforms, come with a vast experience of skating. With everyday sessions and courses on skating offered by the professional team of trainers, the mall also offers an opportunity to young learners to become experts at skating and perform across Dubai.

We are pleased to host an activity that is not only immense fun for kids and adults alike, but also offers an outlet for physical activity within the mall environment.
