Indoor skydiving Centre to open in Dubai's Mirdif City Centre

Indoor skydiving in Mirdif City Centre
Dubai: The emirate's first indoor skydiving centre will open at Mirdif City Centre in 2009. The centre will be one of the world's first to give the public a chance to learn to fly without wings. It is being established by the Majid Al Futtaim Group's Leisure and Entertainment division, which also set up Ski Dubai and Magic Planet. The 'IFly Skydiving Centre' will provide interactive simulation that will let the user float, spin and fly around in three dimensional space.

Programmes held for hospital in-patients
Al Ain: Tawam Hospital in affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine arranged Eid festivities for its in-patients by putting up decorations and posters and handing out cards and gifts. "With festivities taking place across the country ... we were conscious that this time of the year can be a very lonely time for individuals who are hospitalised and even more so for those who don't have family that can visit. We wanted to make sure that this year all our patients were able to enjoy the national holidays," a top hospital official said.
