Stuck for 'cool' ideas on how to keep the kids entertained during the long summer holidays? You might want to check out the weeklong ice skating course at Dubai Ice Rink's Summer Skate School then. Running from Jul 10 until Aug 31, at the Olympic-sized ice rink in The Dubai Mall, the Summer Skate School will teach students the fundamentals of skating and basic manoeuvres, for Dh500 per child per week.
SMELL LIKE. YOU!

Everyone has a favourite scent - but what if you could create your own? My Perfumes, which offers a comprehensive range of premium fragrances, is introducing a futuristic new concept called 'Otoori', that allows you to mix and match to create your own signature scent. Time to get experimental!
With a range of essential notes, mixed notes and fine notes, the perfumer has created a universe of sensual sensation with Otoori that consists of fragrances that either define your character or refine your personality. Half the fun lies in the contemporary names of the derived perfumes  - try Deep in the Wild, Hide and Seek, and Eccentric Behaviour, to name a few - and the scent itself promises to charm your socks off.
