What Visitors Need to Know About Skydive Dubai

While visitors will receive plenty of onsite instruction before going on their tandem skydiving excursion with Skydive Dubai, there are some key bits of information that are good to know before booking an experience. Tandem skydiving is when one person is harnessed to another (in this case, guests will be harnessed to a qualified and experienced instructor from Skydive Dubai) so that they can experience the thrill of skydiving. Otherwise, visitors would have to complete schooling and education to be able to try skydiving.

Courses & skydiving packages

Skydive Dubai also has a skydiving school on site, so visitors who find that they want to try skydiving on their own or who are looking to experience non-tandem skydiving excursions can learn to skydive here. Qualified skydiving professionals will pass on all that they know while students take the Accelerated Freefall course.

Skydivers who are looking to make this into a world-wide hobby can work towards a United States Parachute Association (USPA) license, which is a world-recognized license that proves that the holder can pack their own main parachute, jump without supervision, and take part in group jumps. Skydive Dubai also offers specialized jumps for skydivers who are experienced and licensed, as well as advanced coaching courses.

On-site amenities & gyrocopter tours

There are also onsite facilities that serve food and drinks, so visitors can relax after their skydiving experience. Free Wi-Fi is also available at both the Palm Dropzone and Desert Dropzone and visitors can attend and watch as their friends or family experience their skydive. Any children who are visiting must be supervised by adults at all times as there are no onsite childminding services available.

Guests can also reserve a private tour over Dubai in a gyrocopter, which offers amazing views from over 450 meters up. This unique, two-seater aircraft lets guests stay a little closer to the ground than skydiving, while still offering them an amazing and thrilling experience over the skies of Dubai. Visitors can let a trusted pilot take them on a 20-minute route that offers views of the coast and plenty of the city’s famous sites, including Ain Dubai (Dubai’s observation wheel), Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and more. The cost for this excursion is 999 AED and it must be booked directly with Skydive Dubai staff.
