I'm an international student in the AUC. I'm studying in Cairo for the coming four years and I won't be able to travel back to my hometown unless I finish here. Despite of the fact that Egyptians are nice, having them as close friends is one of the most complicated tasks in the world! (I mean teens around my age). So I'm desperately bored, confused, and hopeless! What a cool way to start! However, since ice-skating is the only sport I enjoy, I was wondering about any helpful information that I might get from this forum about this sport (in Cairo). After a long search, I learned that they're only two rings (in the current time) here in Cairo: one in Maadi (Family land) but unfortunately pretty small and they used to give courses but not any more! The other is in some mall in Nasr City or in 6th of October and it's only for entertainment (the shoppers). I was wondering about a serious club to give courses since I'm not a professional skater or even a ring with someone who can give tutorial lessons or anything!! Anything!! Please! I have to expect that not many ppl would reply since it's not a famous sport here in Egypt but anyway I really hope for any tips or info. Thank you,,,

Hi,
I did take Figure Skating lessons for seven years.
No not professional, but still I manage.
I am shocked as hell that there is a rink in North Africa, let alone 2 in Cairo alone.
I thought the only rink in the Mid-East would be in Dubai.
But thanks for the information. Personally I'd just stick with the recreational skating. Its also very hard to find a reputable instructor in America, let alone a club.
Make the best of it.
Now that I know, I'd don my redding again and practice up to show off in Cairo!
Last time I fell that hard on my @ss it was doing blade work to "Kick Start My Heart" by Motley Crue.
