United Arab Emirates
Roller Skating and Inline Skating in the UAE.
Proper Roller Skate Shops in the UAE are scarce as far as we can tell. There seems to be some skateboard shops, general sports shops and roller rinks split between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but nothing that you could regard as having a wide range of choice or specialist inline skate or roller skate brands. Surprising really, considering the healthy scene of inline skaters, rollerbladers and roller skaters as well as an absolute plethora of incredible skateparks and smooth surfaces.
RollDXB in Dubai is a super awesome venue at Port Rashid, small but immaculate and running nightly rollerdiscos. Danielle Lockwood AKA 'RollerSkillz' runs lessons there every Saturday morning. In Abu Dhabi you can find sessions with Rolling Wheels at 4 mall locations across the city.

Delivery and extra costs when you buy skates from outside of the UAE...
Packages usually arrive in around 3 business days and the import taxes and delivery costs are very reasonable. You can choose to pay any duties, taxes and fees at checkout. Actually, you'll find that each product listed on our site is a little cheaper if you are in the UAE, this is because we build in a 10% (approx) co-efficient into our pricing to offset some of the import costs you guys have to pay
