The air inside the arena cools your face the moment you step away from the Dubai Mall’s warm bustle; the rink lights cut a clean white swath and the soft scrape of blades sets the rhythm. Snowfall effects drift down during sessions, punctuating the music and turning a desert afternoon into a crisp, fast-moving moment on ice.
