As oil started becoming scarce, most of the countries in the Middle East diverted their income generating source to tourism. As a result many manmade wonders have come up throughout the region. Even Abu Dhabi, a traditional Islamic city, has moved towards making tourism their major source of income.
Being a city that has a historical value, Abu Dhabi has many cultural and heritage sites within it. Some of them are museums like Al Ain Palace Museum, Al Ain National Museum or forts like Al Jahili Fort and Al Maqtaa Fort. Apart from these the Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Al Ain Zoo and the Arabian Wildlife Park are some of the major entertainment sources that one would come across.
The very last thing that one would expect in countries like this which are located in the middle of the desert is to find a place filled with snow or ice. Located within the Zayed’s Sports City is the massive Abu Dhabi Ice Rink, which welcomes all visitors who would like to have some fun. The area of this rink is calculated as one thousand eight hundred square meters and has the capacity to hold around four hundred skaters at one go.
This is a must visit place especially if you are with your family. Kids and adults have the privilege of learning skating if they visit this place. Glide through the slippery floor and enjoy the chill that would wrap around you, giving the feeling of comfort and making you forget that you are in the middle of a burning desert.Have unlimited fun by racing each other or just skating around the huge Olympic size rink. There are many food stalls located within the premises to fill up the hungry tummies after exhilarating moments at the ice rink. If you are a frequent visitor to Abu Dhabi, then you have the option of obtaining a membership as well.
