Olympic ice rink, The Dubai Mall

The Olympic-size ice rink at The Dubai Mall. At least this one was being used, unlike the rink in Riyadh! The car in the middle was some luxury model being given away during the Dubai Shopping Festival, which runs until the end of this month.

We’re going to be on the road until evening and then flying to Bahrain, so I won’t be able to catch up until then (hopefully!).

Another hard-to-believe attraction at this amazing mall (two actually, an aquarium and a dinosaur skeleton):

I cannot believe that there is actually an ice rink within the mall as well, Helen! V

A real entertainment center-- the mall.

Another fascinating image. The advertising is as interesting as the rink. Very well photographed. V

Hard to imagine the electricity required !!! I wonder if it's ever used for hockey - looks like the ice is marked for it. V

The rink is huge. Fascinating to see it inside a mall in such a hot country. V

Remarkable details in this shot. Hard to imagine an ice rink in that part of the world. V
