Roller skaters now have their very own spot to hang out, glide across the grounds, try their hands at something new or perhaps just indulge in the retro disco vibes. RollDXB, the first disco roller rink in Dubai, is the spot to be for novices and veterans alike.
Where it all began
The idea was first conceived by two Emirati women, sisters Aliyah Al Banna and her elder sister, who had a love for roller skating. The elder of the two had the idea first in 2016, fueled by her and her sister's passion for figure skating and roller skating.
Location, timings, and contact
While the joint only has one permanent physical location currently, located at Dubai Maritime City, RollDXB has had multiple pop-ups all over Dubai in the past and will continue to have in the future. For more updates, keep an eye on their Instagram page below.

Riedell Shoes Inc. is a Minnesota-based skate manufacturing company that produces skates. The company has been in business since the late 60s and continues to be the go-to for most beginners looking for affordable yet stylish and good-quality skates.
The Moxi brand was founded by Estro Jen in the early 2000s. These are the more colourful and experimental counterparts of the former skates and are also manufactured by Riedell.
