Speaking of places to hang out with our friends, don’t you wish there was a place to meet up with friends that didn’t have the word ‘MALL’ in it? Well, guess what, there is! Yes, that’s right, a place for both guys and girls to hang out and it doesn’t include the word ‘MALL’ in it!
It’s Al Forsan International Sports Resort; a new sports and recreation club that has many fun and enjoyable activities which are great to do with friends. My favorite was the Go Karting that they offer. I went there with my friends and we had a BLAST. They gave us suits, helmets, and we even had an instructor that gave us instructions on how to drive, safety precautions and so on. We drove for
15 minutes, which was plenty, and the track and atmosphere was FABULOUS. You feel so free, with the wind blowing, and driving around the peaceful track. It cost Dh 120, but it was totally worth it!
Another activity I tried there was the archery. It’s difficult, I won’t lie to you, but it was an incredible experience. You get to practice aiming, and you have an instructor with you the whole time, guiding you on how to use the equipment. After you finish practicing, you can even have a competition with your friends!
One thing I would recommend while coming to Al Forsan is to rent a locker to keep your items secure, especially if you’re going Go Karting. Also, wear light clothes, because all the activities are outside. One more thing, children under 18 do require an adult or guardian to sign a waiver before you can take part in the sports activities at Al Forsan. So make sure you go with an aunt, or an older cousin, or even an older friend! And you don’t have to worry about food; Al Forsan has a variety of restaurants.
And finally, bring a camera and a group of friends and don’t forget to have fun. After spending time with your friends outside of a ‘mall’ school will probably be a great experience.
