Leap from 13,000ft over Dubai for a 60-second freefall and a 4–5 minute canopy ride with views of the Palm or desert. This tandem skydive combines strict safety checks, photo/video documentation, and weather-dependent scheduling — plan for a 3–4 hour visit.

The wind arrives before you do — a low, steady push across the concrete as the small plane taxis and climbs above Dubai’s glass skyline and the endless beige of the desert. Attached to a world-class instructor, you feel the aircraft lift and then the sudden, exhilarating release: nearly 60 seconds of freefall at over 120 mph, followed by a calm, 4–5 minute canopy glide that opens views of the Palm’s fingered coastline or the rippled desert below.

Fitness Level
Should be in good cardiovascular health with basic mobility to exit the plane and land under canopy; high fitness not required but moderate strength helps.

History
Skydiving operations here juxtapose Dubai’s recent coastal engineering (like Palm Jumeirah) with older desert landscapes; the Palm was constructed in the early 2000s and reshaped local coastlines and vistas.
Conservation
Operators work within strict landing-zone protocols to limit disturbance; visitors should avoid leaving litter and follow staff instructions to protect fragile desert flora and fauna.
