Skydiving center offering tandem parachuting along with photos & video, plus gyrocopter tours.

Skydive Dubai at the Dubai Marina Drop Zone offers what is credibly the world's most spectacular urban skydiving experience. Tandem jumpers exit at 13,000 feet and freefall at 200 km/h before the parachute opens to reveal a view that stops time: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and the Arabian Gulf stretching to the horizon below. The operation is world-class, the instructors among the most experienced in the business, and the photo and video package captures every second of the jump. The entire experience takes around three hours from check-in to landing, with the freefall itself lasting approximately sixty seconds and the canopy descent a further five minutes. There is no experience requirement for a tandem jump. The season runs October to May; summer flights are suspended due to heat. Book well ahead - slots are limited and weather cancellations are common, so flexible bookings are worth the consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the skydiving experience like at Skydive Dubai?

Skydive Dubai offers tandem skydives from up to 13,000 feet over the Palm Jumeirah or the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. The freefall lasts approximately 60 seconds, followed by a 5-minute parachute descent with panoramic views of the Gulf, Palm, and city skyline.

02How much does skydiving in Dubai cost?

A tandem skydive over the Palm Jumeirah typically starts from around AED 2,299. Video and photo packages are available at additional cost. It is one of the most expensive skydive experiences in the world, but the setting is uniquely spectacular.

03Do I need any experience to skydive in Dubai?

No experience is required for a tandem skydive — you jump harnessed to a certified instructor who manages the entire descent. You will receive a full safety briefing before boarding the aircraft.

04Are there any restrictions on who can skydive?

Participants must typically be at least 18 years old, weigh under 100kg (220 lbs), and be in generally good health. Pregnant women, those with heart conditions, and individuals with some spinal issues are not eligible. Check the full list of medical restrictions when booking.

05What should I wear for a skydive in Dubai?

Wear comfortable, fitted clothing — no loose-fitting items, skirts, or dresses. Closed, lace-up shoes are mandatory (no flip-flops or sandals). A jumpsuit is provided over your clothes. Long hair should be tied back.

06How long does the whole experience take?

The full experience including registration, briefing, gearing up, the flight to altitude, the jump, and recovery takes approximately 3 hours in total. The actual skydive itself — freefall plus canopy — lasts around 6–7 minutes.
