Skydiving Over Palm Jumeirah

Skydiving Over Palm Jumeirah

The experience begins with a thorough safety briefing and a gear check at the Skydive Dubai drop zone. From there, you will board a small aircraft for a 15-20 minute flight up to 13,000 feet. As the plane ascends, you’ll get a first glimpse of the world-famous Palm Jumeirah, Dubai's iconic archipelago in the shape of a palm tree. Once you're up in the sky, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the city stretching all the way to the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the sparkling Arabian Gulf.
Once the plane reaches its jump altitude, it’s time for the exhilarating part: leaping into the vast, open sky. The first 60 seconds of freefall provide an adrenaline rush unlike any other as you plummet toward the ground at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. You’ll feel the rush of the wind against your face and the rapid descent as you freefall through the air. The world below you seems to shrink, and the vastness of the landscape, including the pristine beaches, the desert, and the shimmering sea, will leave you speechless.
As the parachute deploys, you’ll feel a sudden deceleration and begin to float gracefully, giving you a unique, peaceful perspective of Dubai. During this slower descent, you’ll have the opportunity to take in the beauty of Palm Jumeirah in all its glory. The island’s palm fronds, lined with luxury villas and resorts, the curving coastline, and the luxurious city skyline will all unfold before your eyes. Your instructor will guide the descent, giving you a sense of control over the parachute and an opportunity to experience the serenity of the slow descent.
This unique experience is available as a tandem jump, meaning you’ll be harnessed to a professional instructor who will handle the more technical aspects of the jump, allowing you to focus purely on the thrill. With the jump itself lasting just over a minute and the glide to the ground taking several minutes, it’s an experience that provides the perfect mix of exhilaration and tranquility. After landing safely, you’ll be able to relive the moments of your jump through a professionally shot video and photos, which can be a great keepsake to remember this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Skydiving over Palm Jumeirah is not just about the jump; it’s about the experience of soaring through the skies above a stunning, man-made wonder. Whether you’re an experienced skydiver or a first-timer, Skydive Dubai’s world-class facilities and professional instructors ensure that every jump is safe, exciting, and unforgettable. For those seeking an unforgettable adventure, this is the ultimate way to see Dubai from a whole new perspective.
