Looking for something new and cool to do in Dubai? Arena Games is a new virtual reality gaming spot that is now open in Dubai International Financial Centre that will take players on an adrenaline-filled journey through infinite worlds.

If youve never tried virtual reality before, it is a computer-generated simulation of an environment where you can interact with each other (or the enemy) and objects in a seemingly real or physical way. In other words, youre actually in the artificial three-dimensional environment rather than staring at it on a screen.

You will be armed with a virtual reality headset, headphones, military-style backpacks and of course, a gun to help protect yourself.

Just take a look at the action waiting for you in this Instagram video below.

That looks pretty intense. But, dont worry if youre not a gamer. Arena Games is perfect whether youre a casual gamer or have been playing games since Odyssey came out.

And theres a range of games you can pick from, too. If you love games like Tell Tales The Walking Dead or The Last of Us, you will be able to fight off zombie attacks with your squad in the heart-stopping Zombie Survival.

If military action is more your style, Singularitywill appeal to you as it transports you to a secret military space station where they can expect to fight killer robots and rogue drones to regain control.

For fans of the fantasy genre, Engineeriumis an avatar-like, fantasy world game that combines platform and maze challenges is the perfect game for first-timers and virtual reality experimenters.

You can even opt for the ultimate player versus player combat in Sol Raiderswhere you can show off your gaming skills against your mates and finally lay to rest the argument of who is the better gamer is.
