Skydive Dubai Palm Drop Zone
Why should you skydive at the Palm Dropzone in Dubai?
Skydive Dubai's Palm Dropzone is the premier skydiving location in the city. A man-made island designed in the shape of a Palm tree, surrounded on three sides by a calm ocean, the Palm Jumeirah is one of Dubai's top attractions. What better scene could you hope for while skydiving? The view from 10,000 ft in the sky is sure to blow your mind; prepare to be mesmerized by the blue-green ocean, a massive palm tree in the middle of the ocean, and some of Dubai's most popular landmarks like Burj Al Arab!
What to expect at Dubai's Palm Dropzone?
Ensure to reach the skydiving center at least 15 minutes before your assigned slot. You will be required to read and fill out some paperwork, after which you will be put through a standard health check-up.
The next step is a meet-and-greet with your tandem skydive instructor who, along with his/her team, will take you through a brief training session that shouldn’t last more than 30 minutes. They walk you through the entire skydive process and brief you about the right body movements and positions to adapt before and during your jump.
You’ll be strapped into the necessary skydiving gear before being led towards the aircraft for your tandem skydive. Next, you’ll travel towards the sky on a short, 20-minute flight. Your instructor will then attach themselves to you by a harness and instruct you on the position to adapt before the jump.
Now comes the best part! Feel the cool wind rush against your body as you freefall over the Palm. Your freefall will last for approximately 60 seconds which will feel like a surreal rollercoaster ride, after which your tandem skydive instructor will deploy the parachute. Now is when you can actually stop and soak in the beautiful view; watch the sun shine over some of the tallest skyscrapers in Dubai and enjoy the serene ocean gently crash against the Palm Jumeirah. Your landing will take between 5-7 minutes; make the most of it!

- Avoid wearing anything too baggy or bulky—jewelry, scarves or any loose clothing can get caught in the gear and increase the risk of injury.
- It's best to eat a meal two or three hours before your jump, making sure to include slow-burning carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables for long-lasting energy.
- Starchy carbs like potatoes, pasta, and rice are also good options. Do not overeat.
