Desert dropzone: Skydive over Dubai’s vast desert landscape

Skydiving is an exhilarating adventure but it still carries small inherent risks like any adventurous activity. However, your safety is our top priority. Here are some measures we take to ensure your well-being: highly trained instructors, rigorous equipment maintenance, and comprehensive safety briefings

No prior experience is necessary! You'll be jumping in tandem with a highly-trained instructor who will guide you through the entire experience.

The minimum age requirement is typically 18 years old, although some restrictions may apply depending on weight and health conditions.

Weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) restrictions apply:
Women: Maximum weight of 90 kg (198 lbs) and BMI below 27.5.
Men: Maximum weight of 100 kg (220 lbs) and BMI below 30.0.

The entire experience can take around 3-4 hours, from arrival to post-jump debriefing. The actual freefall itself lasts about 60 seconds.

Booking online is highly recommended. You can book your skydiving in Dubai at desert dropzone tickets here.

Operational hours may vary depending on the season, but jumps typically occur during daylight hours. During April and May, the opening hours are from 7am with the first takeoff around 8am. Skydiving at the desert dropzone is closed on Monday and Tuesday.
From June 2024, the desert dropzone will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 6am, with the first takeoff around 7am. The desert dropzone will remain closed from Monday to Friday.

At the desert dropzone, tandem skydiving with a certified instructor is mandatory for first-time jumpers. Solo skydiving requires significant experience and licensing.

Your experience will usually include pre-jump briefing, gearing up, the plane ride to altitude, the thrilling freefall, canopy flight, and a smooth landing. Photos and video are also included in your ticket.

Comfortable clothing like sweatpants, leggings, and a moisture-wicking t-shirt are recommended. Avoid loose clothing or dangling items. The dropzone may provide additional details on recommended attire.

The dropzone is located outside the city center and inaccessible by metro. Your options include renting a car, using a ride-sharing service, or inquiring about Skydive Dubai's transfer services (if available).

Skydiving is weather-dependent. In case of bad weather, your jump may be rescheduled for another time.
