Back to BahrainJumping in Manama, explained.
There is no skydiving facility in Manama. Bahrain's only one — Gravity Indoor Skydiving, a 14-foot vertical wind tunnel — is at Zallaq on the west coast, about 35 km from the capital, and it is currently closed. There is no outdoor dropzone anywhere in Bahrain either; the airspace does not support a civilian one. So nothing is bookable in the kingdom today. If you are in Manama and want to fly on this trip, the nearest options are across the Gulf: iFly Dubai and Inflight Dubai for wind tunnels, Skydive Dubai for an outdoor tandem from AED 2,199, and seasonal tandems at Kuwait Skydive & Fly from KWD 99 — all a short flight away.
