Skydive Dubai

What’s the big picture here?
If free falling over Dubai at 120 miles per hour sounds like your idea of a good time, Skydive Dubai has you covered. Beginners are welcome to jump in tandem with the company's experienced guides, but licensed divers can take the plunge solo.

How are the guides?
Guides are good at soothing first-timer nerves and photographers in-flight capture excellent memories.

Anything we’ll be remembering forever?
Seeing Dubai from 13,000 feet while you're flying through the air is something to remember.

Bottom line?
A tandem flight from Skydive Dubai's location on The Palm costs nearly $600—but it's worth it if you're a thrill-seeker who's not afraid of heights. Sometimes the wait times to jump can be long due to weather or other air traffic considerations.
