Entertainment & Activities
If you’re looking for a break from the sun where you can also have fun with the entire family, Dubai knows how to keep you cool with its very own Olympic sized skating park. The Dubai Ice Rink is in The Dubai Mall and it’s the perfect place to spend some fun time with the family. Children need to be accompanied by an adult (as if you really needed an excuse to get on the ice!), lessons for beginners are available as well.

Food Scene
While Downtown Dubai is full of excellent restaurants, few come close to the unique dining experience at the Armani Hotel Dubai. Elegant surroundings are complemented by exquisite cuisine that ranges from contemporary twists on traditional Arab dishes through to ultra-modern Japanese dining.
For lunch and a bit of downtime, check out the neighboring Armani Hotel. The Armani Deli offers Italian contemporary cuisine in a super sleek atmosphere, with a view of The Dubai Fountain. There’s a large brunch menu and loads of pastry, bread and cheese options. The Armani Spa offers bespoke treatments and access to a lovely outdoor pool, a worthwhile indulgence in this hot and somewhat insufferable desert climate.
