Freefall over the Palm
Skydive Dubai runs tandem jumps from its Palm Drop Zone beside Dubai Marina. You are strapped to a certified instructor who handles the whole jump, so no experience is needed. After a short briefing you board the aircraft, climb to 13,000 feet and exit above Palm Jumeirah.
Freefall lasts about a minute at speeds up to roughly 200 km/h, followed by a calmer parachute ride of several minutes with views of the Palm, the Gulf and the Marina skyline. The jump itself takes about five minutes, but the whole visit takes two to four hours.
Skydive Dubai also operates a Desert Campus, which offers a different setting. Ask us if you would like to compare the two. We can arrange your transfer and help you choose a date with good weather.
