Skydiving in Dubai: Ultimate Guide to Palm Dropzone
Experience the thrill of skydiving over Dubai's iconic Palm Jumeirah with breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and futuristic skyline.
Jump over the world's most iconic island 🪂
Picture this: you're free-falling at 120mph with the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai's skyline, and the Arabian Gulf spread out beneath you. This isn't just skydiving—it's jumping over one of the world's most recognizable landmarks.
Dubai's Palm Dropzone has become legendary for combining serious adrenaline with views that look straight out of a movie.
Why Dubai's Palm Dropzone?
Jump over the palm-shaped island (yes, it actually looks like a palm tree from up there)
Crystal clear views of Dubai's futuristic skyline
Perfect weather almost year-round ☀️
World-class facilities and expert USPA-certified instructors
"The Palm Jumeirah from 13,000 feet is surreal—it looks exactly like the photos, a perfect palm tree in the azure water."
Who can jump?
Pretty straightforward requirements:
