About Skydiving in Dubai
Skydiving in Dubai is a tandem skydive over Palm Jumeirah, one of the most famous drop zones in the world. You jump attached to a licensed instructor, so you do not need previous skydiving experience. The views are the main reason many travellers choose this activity: the Palm, The World Islands, Ain Dubai and Burj Al Arab, all from the air.
It is one of the most popular activities in Dubai for thrill seekers, and it also works well as a special one-off experience in a Dubai trip. RUMS Travel And Tours will confirm your date, your meeting time and what is included before you book. Price on request.

What Happens on Your Skydive Day
Skydiving in Dubai is a tandem jump, so your instructor is with you from start to finish. Here is what the day usually looks like, in three simple parts:
1. Arrival and Briefing
You arrive at the drop zone and check in. Your instructor gives a short briefing on body position, the jump and the landing, and fits your harness and equipment. This part is calm and simple, and you can ask any questions before the flight. Allow 3 to 4 hours in total for the whole experience.
2. Aircraft Ascent and Jump from 13,000 ft
The aircraft climbs to 13,000 ft over Palm Jumeirah. Your instructor checks your harness one last time, then you jump together. You fall for about 60 seconds, with the Palm, The World Islands, Ain Dubai and Burj Al Arab below you. It is fast, loud and unforgettable.
3. Parachute Ride and Landing
After about 60 seconds of freefall, your instructor opens the parachute. The ride down is quiet and slow, with clear views of Palm Jumeirah, The World Islands, Ain Dubai and Burj Al Arab. You land gently at the drop zone, where your photos and professionally edited video are ready to share. Price on request.
