Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Dubai Expat Help Forum

Sorry, I couldn't really find a section devoted to sports for this forum...
I don't know much about Dubai, havn't been there yet but it looks like I might be, for a while too

I'm curious of what there is sports wise? i know there's the skiing, is snowboarding allowed there too?
ice hockey?
paintball?
do any of you on these forums play or participate in any of those and how is it there?
if you're not originaly from dubai, is there a noticeable difference?

dude, once you come here make sure you call me or pm me, i gathering people to play some paintball

dont forget

dude, regarding ice hockey, youll be suprised that there are 15 ice hockey teams in dubai

Yes you can board too.

As for differences, not surprisingly, doing any sport when it's hot is extremely exhausting, and doing indoor sport is always in air conditioning so you also end up really dehydrated.

I would have to assume that, it would be cool to get the locals alot more into it though, what are they more interested in?
