Tandem Skydive Dubai FAQs
What is a tandem skydive in Dubai?
A tandem skydive is a jump where you are securely harnessed to a certified Skydive Dubai instructor who controls the freefall, parachute deployment and landing. It is designed for first-timers, so no previous skydiving experience or licence is needed. You only need to attend the safety briefing and follow your instructor’s guidance.
How much does a tandem skydive in Dubai cost?
Tandem skydive prices at the Palm Drop Zone vary by season and package. On Dreamdays, this experience is priced from AED 2,749, including professional photos and video of your jump. Buying it as a gift voucher lets the recipient choose their own date within 12 months.
Is skydiving in Dubai worth it?
For most people, yes. Skydiving over Palm Jumeirah combines about 60 seconds of freefall with views you cannot get anywhere else: the palm-shaped island, Dubai Marina, Ain Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. Skydive Dubai is one of the world’s best-known drop zones, and the included photos and video let you relive the jump.
How long does the tandem skydive experience take?
Plan for 3 to 4 hours in total, including check-in, the safety briefing, gearing up and waiting for your slot. The flight to 13,000 ft takes around 20 minutes. Freefall lasts about 60 seconds, followed by a 4–5 minute parachute ride down to the landing area.
What is the best time of day to skydive at the Palm?
Morning slots are usually the most comfortable, especially in the warmer months, as temperatures are lower and winds tend to be calmer. Jumps run on a schedule that depends on weather and wind, so book early and keep the rest of your day flexible in case your slot moves.
What should I wear for a tandem skydive?
Wear comfortable, close-fitting sportswear and closed athletic shoes such as sneakers; sandals, heels and boots with hooks are not allowed. Tie back long hair and leave jewellery and loose items in your locker. Bring a valid ID or passport and your booking confirmation.
Can I give a tandem skydive as a gift?
Yes. Dreamdays lets you send this tandem skydive as a gift, either as a physical gift box delivered across the UAE or as an instant digital voucher by email. The voucher is valid for 12 months, so the recipient books the jump date that suits them. It is a popular birthday, graduation and anniversary gift.
