Sports of the UAE

Dubai ice rink
Hello fellow pupils of the Grade 9 Geography class.  This week on my blog I will be blogging about the sports of the UAE.  As you should know, I really like sports, and I was quite interested in what sports are played in different countries.  Most of them are common sports, like soccer and golf, but there are some other ones that are not so common.  For example, you have heard of horse riding, right?  Well in the UAE, they have camel racing.  They also play cricket, which is played in Canada, but is not so common.  Another question.  The UAE is in the desert, right?  So you wouldn't expect any ice there, right?  Apparently not.  In the Dubai mall, there is an indoor olympic sized skating rink, which makes hockey possible.  I hope you have enjoyed this edition of Sam's Geo blog, and I hope you learned something and found it interesting.  Until next time,

  1. Wow that is very interesting Sam! That is one thing that I learned new today is that in the UAE they have camel racing, and also in the Dubai mall, there is an indoor olympic sized skating rink, so the people can play hockey on. I'm not sure what kind of sports are in Germany. Maybe that will be my next blog. I hope to read and learn more on this country.
