Skydiving (Skydive Dubai)

A tandem freefall over Palm Jumeirah from 13,000 feet

Palm Jumeirah / Desert Campus 3 – 4 hours in total (including waiting time)

What is this activity like?

Skydive Dubai’s Palm Drop Zone is one of the most photographed jump sites in the world. The aircraft climbs to around 13,000 feet (4,000 m), and the palm shape of Palm Jumeirah sits directly beneath your feet.

First-time visitors jump tandem: you are harnessed to a licensed instructor who makes the jump and deploys the parachute. All that’s asked of you is to attend a short ground briefing and hold the correct body position.

After roughly a minute of freefall the parachute opens and a quiet five-minute glide begins. Total time in the aircraft, including the landing, is 15–20 minutes. The alternative Desert Campus jumps over the dunes and is noticeably more affordable.

Highlights

  • Jump from 13,000 feet (≈4,000 m)
  • Around 1 minute of freefall over Palm Jumeirah
  • Tandem with a licensed instructor — no experience needed
  • Video and photo package shot by a camera flyer
  • Desert Campus as a more economical alternative

Participation requirements

  • Usually 18 and over (confirmed at booking)
  • Tandem weight limits: up to 90 kg and BMI 27.5 for women; up to 100 kg and BMI 30 for men
  • Weight is measured with shoes and clothing on
  • Not suitable for heart conditions, recent surgery or pregnancy
  • No scuba diving in the 24 hours before the jump

Requirements may vary by operator. If you have any concerns about your health, consult us before booking — we'll choose a suitable alternative together.

Before you go

  • The Palm Drop Zone fills up weeks ahead; book as soon as your dates are set.
  • Adding the media package later is usually more expensive; decide at booking.
  • Because of the harness buckles, wear comfortable, narrow-legged trousers and lace-up trainers.
  • Sessions can be postponed due to wind; don’t schedule it for your last day in Dubai.
