Tandem Skydive — Palm Jumeirah (All-Inclusive)
13,000 FT · 60 SECTandem from 13,000 ft over Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and the Burj Al Arab — landing right on the Palm-shaped dropzone. Single all-inclusive price: tandem jump + medical insurance + standard video & photos. USPA-certified instructor.
Three hours on site. Ninety seconds in the air.
Skydive Dubai's Palm dropzone sits on the man-made Palm Jumeirah island, fifteen minutes from Dubai Marina. The jump is the brand's flagship for a reason: the canopy ride brings you down past the Burj Al Arab, the Atlantis hotel, and Dubai's coastline before final approach onto a landing zone shaped like the trunk of the palm itself. From exit altitude at 13,000 ft, you'll spend roughly sixty seconds in freefall — about 200 km/h — before the chute opens and the city unfolds below. The operation is run by Skydive Dubai, a USPA Group Member and the world's largest skydiving school by jump volume. Instructors are USPA-certified, equipment is climate-controlled (the Palm DZ runs year-round, unlike the Desert Campus which closes June–August), and the aircraft fleet is a mix of Twin Otter and Cessna Caravan turbines. A single all-inclusive tandem package — jump, medical insurance, professional video, and stills — runs AED 2,499. This is the right jump for a first-timer who wants the iconic Dubai skyline view rather than a desert backdrop. Most bookings are tandems; if you're chasing a USPA license, the Desert Campus is where Skydive Dubai runs its AFF curriculum. The Palm DZ is fifteen years into operations and the most-photographed commercial skydive in the Gulf — book well ahead for weekend slots, especially Oct–Mar peak season. The review base tells the scale story: 4.7 on Google across nearly 8,000 reviews, the largest of any dropzone in the region. AED 2,499 all-in sits at the premium end of the catalogue, but this is the rare jump where the landing zone itself — the Palm's trunk, surrounded by water — is part of the bucket-list claim.
Check in, weigh in, sign the USPA-standard waiver. Twenty minutes of harness fitting and emergency-procedure briefing with your tandem master.
Bench-seated, headphones on, door closed. The aircraft climbs to 13,000 ft — the coastline or landscape shrinks under you.
Door open. Roll out. Terminal velocity. Tandem master triggers the canopy at 5,000 ft.
Calm five-minute ride down. You take the toggles for a minute. Grass landing at the airfield.

Cancellation & policies.

Skydiving is weather-dependent. If the dropzone can't fly safely they'll reschedule you at no charge — or arrange a full refund if a new date doesn't suit.
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days. The dropzone confirms the timing.
After booking you’ll be in direct contact with the dropzone — any change or refund is arranged with them. SiA’s team is here if you need us.
Eight real anxieties, addressed.
Tandem operators set their own weight limit (commonly around 90–115 kg) and confirm borderline cases on the day — check the exact limit with this dropzone when you enquire. AFF students have no upper limit but must fit the rig comfortably.
June★★★★★4 months agoI had an amazing experience with Skydive Dubai, absolutely one of the best things I've ever done! I was nervous at first, but my tandem instructor Max was incredibly friendly and funny. He kept making jokes inside the plane that I almost forgot I was about to jump out of it. He was very reassuring the whole time, made me feel completely safe, and we landed perfectly. Huge shoutout to Cody, the cameraman, who captured every moment so well, the angles were perfect for that picture-perfect memory! Honestly, I didn't even want to go down and end the experience, that's how incredible it was. Overall, the experience was unforgettable. The view from above was breathtaking and the whole team made it even more special. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Dubai or looking for an adventure of a lifetime!
Michaella Franco★★★★★a month agoHad such an amazing skydiving experience and I already want to do it again! 🪂 Huge thank you to my awesome TI Sasha and my videographer Rodney for making everything so fun and comfortable the whole time. They were both so nice and really helped me feel at ease.
