From March 31 to April 4, 2007, three XMM-Newton observations were performed to monitor the X-ray activity of Sgr A* and its neighboring X-ray transient sources. Two X-ray transient sources in outburst were detected during this multi-wavelength observation campaign. We focus here on the transient source in outburst located at about 1.5 arcmin South-West from Sgr A*, which exhibited deep eclipses and type-I X-ray bursts. We identify this source with the eclipsing burster low-mass X-ray binary discovered by ASCA, AX J1745.6-2901. These XMM-Newton observations allow us to refine the period of the eclipse and the position of AX J1745.6-2901. Finally, we observed with XMM-Newton several dips from AX J1745.6-2901, which is the first dipper of the Galactic center region.
