Skydive Dubai (tandem)
- Direct guests
- youth
- incentive
A tandem parachute jump strapped to a licensed instructor, from one of two drop zones.
How it operates
Guests check in at the drop zone, are weighed in clothes and shoes against the operator's weight and BMI limits, and are briefed and fitted to a harness before boarding. The jump is tandem, strapped to a licensed instructor, with freefall at roughly 200 kmph before the canopy opens. Allow three to four hours on site from check-in to completion. Poor weather suspends operations and places guests on standby, with a reschedule or a refund if conditions do not clear.
For agents
Operating and selling mechanics
- Weight and BMI are the hard gate. Collect them at booking or expect refusals at the drop zone.
- Weather cancellations are routine — never make a skydive the only activity on a client's last day.
- The wind tunnel is the fallback product for anyone who fails the weight gate or the weather.
For travellers
What to brief your guests on
- Guests are weighed at check-in in clothes and shoes, and both a weight limit and a BMI limit apply. The minimum age is 18 and the maximum 75, with a signed medical fitness form required from 70.
- Allow three to four hours on site, and never make the jump the last thing on a departure day — weather routinely puts guests on standby.
Drop zones
- The Palm Drop Zone — Over Palm Jumeirah and the coastline, with the Dubai skyline and iconic landmarks as the backdrop. The signature, higher-priced option.
- Desert Campus — Over the sand dunes inland. Also the base for licensed sport skydivers and the skydiving school.

Photos and video
Whether stills and video are included depends on the package booked. The operator's tandem product pages sell media as a paid upgrade at each drop zone, while its homepage describes photos and video as included, so confirm what a specific booking covers before telling a guest either way.
