There's no reason why you wouldn't be able to inline skate at the DQ.  I've seen women in shorts/tshirts jogging there.

I skate but.... on ice!

I do ice skating & if you wanna skate (on ice) Le Mall in Exit 5 is the best place for women (ladies/girls). It's quiet small but will be enough.

There's an ice rink at Panorama Mall.

I know about the ones that are 10x10 in malls...I was hoping they really skate, not glide in a circle. lol

It's slightly bigger than that   but yeah, I know what you're saying lol

Alpa89, there was this secluded skating rink in exit 10 before & we used to play hockey there but unfortunately, it was demolished months ago..
If you want, we can drive to Oasis Compound on weekends & play hockey there.. They have a decent  hockey rink there.

I hope it's just shinny... I only have my skates, gloves, stick and helmet. and some shins that I use for ball hockey.

Shins? Reminds me of some old shins, goalie helmets, gloves & sticks that they threw when they demolished the rink... I only managed to pocket some pucks next day!

By the way, if you just want to skate around, there's this skating rink in Royal Mall in King Fahad Road that is not that crowded compare to Panorama Mall & Hayat Mall. I do "stick & puck" there sometimes (if the manager is not around ).

Panorama Rink is not good this time. Ice is melting. It's more of a pond

No I'd like to play hockey. Let's get in touch and get this going.

Dear Nuria,

asper regarding the dance classes, after a long search here in riyadh, u can email riyadhsalsero@hotmail.com for what kind of dance class you need, they will answer you and put you in waiting if you dont have a couple, also they will send you the location of the compound (i forgot its name) and also you can find salsa dance classes.

now asper skating, i am here in riyadh since 2013 (i am inline freestyle skater) and its me only i am Lebanese and i hv an egyptian frend, we skate in parks and streets,

if you would like to join we can visit you in the DQ to skate, i ddnt skate in DQ before but i attend parties only there and mainly US embassy, after parties too.

or if you know any closed group for skaters kindly inform me how to contact them.

Hi

I'm khaled a local from Riyadh. Recently got into ice skating during one of the GEA events, and would like to continue this passion with Roller Skating outdoors with other individuals or a groups.

DQ definitely seems like one of the better options that come to mind for such activities.

If you found what you were looking for, hope you can guide me as well. Or perhaps someone else reading this thread.

Thanks!
Regards,
K

Could you assist please ???

@Juggernaut

Hey - do you know if there are any figure skating coaches in Riyadh?
