You can soon play Mario Kart IRL at BattleKart Dubai

The go-karting experience includes six different tracks.

Ready, set, Dubai. BattleKart, a new go-karting experience, has made its way from Saudi Arabia to Dubai Investment Park, offering interactive fun for the whole family. 

If you love the video game Mario Kart, you’ll love BattleKart Dubai, which is a thrilling experience. Battle Kart was born in Belgium. The concept originally came as a Middle Eastern pop-up in Jeddah’s Little Asia, and has now created permanent locations in Riyadh and Dubai. Visitors can choose from several experiences, which take place on an illuminated track. The experience combines elements of video games and sporting activities, and the digital projections bring the different tracks to life. 

Do you remember Snake? This time it’s not on a Nokia phone, but on the track. One of the tracks includes a snake-inspired experience, which sees you battle it out to not touch the edge of the track and become the longest snake. 

BattleKart Dubai experiences include Battle Colour, where you collect coloured squares; Battle Virus, where you try to beat a virus; Battle Foot, where you hit a virtual ball into a net; and Battle Pool, where you play across a pool table.

BattleKart Dubai will open in mid-May. Tickets start from AED 200 for the first round, AED 170 for the second round and AED 130 for the third round. Visitors must be above 145 centimetres to enter. 

If you can’t wait to put your karting skills to the test, Chaos Karts recently opened in Al Quoz allowing users to embrace their inner Lewis Hamilton along a projected track. Indoor Kartdome in Motor City offers a premier go-karting facility with a professionally designed track and state-of-the-art go-karts.
