Another tempting factor that makes people go skydiving in Dubai is the possibility to see amazing bird’s-eye view of the city’s famous landmarks. Picture yourself being in freefall over the Palm Jumeirah, one of the world’s most easily identifiable artificial structures given its crescent design of palm tree fronds. From up here, you also get to see the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa and the desert in the horizon. It is an amazing feeling to see the modern structures of the city and desert and sea below you.
But that’s not all! You will also have the privilege of viewing Dubai marina, the famous burj al arab hotel and even the dubai skyline while in the air completing the skydiving.
2. Modern and Sophisticated Equipment and Structures
It is not just the thrill of skydiving that is on offer in Dubai but also an element of safety, organization and standards. The skydiving centers in the city including Skydive Dubai have top standard equipment and facilities that are globally recognized. All the skydiving equipment is excellent, and the instructors employ the best gear to guarantee your safety during the free fall.
Whether you are having a tandem jump or an advanced solo jump the operators employ the best of parachutes, altimeters, and GPS used to track the jump. All the equipment is checked for safety prior to diving and this means that when you are diving, you will have a smooth time. The instructors are very professional and experienced being certified by international aviation bodies and give their clients detailed briefings before the jump to enhance confidence.
3. Ideal Climate All Year Through
The fact that there is sunshine all year round in Dubai makes it an excellent place to try skydiving. Indeed, it has more than 300 days of clear, sunny weather per year which means that the weather for skydiving is always good whenever you go there. This location has a very stable climate, and it rarely rains, which is a major advantage because weather conditions often pose a problem to skydiving activities at central skydiving points around the world.
Besides, the weather in Dubai is warm, especially during the winter holidays, which makes your jump even more comfortable. Despite, the high temperatures in summer, the ideal time for skydiving in Dubai is during October to April. It is not possible to tire of skydiving during the day because the weather is clear, the days are warm, and the jumps are smooth for first-time divers and experienced divers alike.
4. Tandem Skydives for the First Time Flyers
For the first-timers to skydiving, there is no better place to start than Dubai. The kind of skydiving most preferred by first-timers is called tandem skydiving. In this format, you will be securely fastened to an experienced trainer who will control the jump, from the exit from the plane, the parachute opening, and landing. This means that you are able to savor the experience without having to bother about the details of the dive.
Many of the skydiving centers in Dubai provide tandem jumps and you are given a full briefing before your jump which makes you feel more at ease. The freefalling at high speed – up to 120 mph (193 km/h) – is a unique feeling, while the subsequent parachute ride is as calm as a dove returning to the nest.
5. A Memorable Trip in One of the Most Beautiful Places on Earth
Tandem skydiving in Dubai is not only about free falling but also about more than that. It’s a complete adventure. As soon as you get to the drop zone you are met by professional staff, beautiful scenery and anticipation as you gear up for the jump. I can tell you that jumping over the Palm Jumeirah is different from jumping over the desert.
Apart from the actual skydiving experience, many skydiving experiences in Dubai also have packages that allow you to record your experience. You can order a video or photo tour where professional cameramen will join you during the dive and capture every moment of your skydiving. These personalized memories can be made with friends and family and are the best way to bring home a reminder of your trip to Dubai.
Furthermore, the whole concept is a part of the tourism industry of Dubai. Following your skydiving experience, you may go to the city’s shopping malls, restaurants, and nightclubs or to one of the beautiful beaches in the city. Paragliding in Dubai is one of the many exciting things that can be done in this city to the fullest.
Bonus Tip: Skydiving over the Desert
However, the most popular choice is skydiving over the Palm Jumeirah but Dubai also provides the chance to skydive over the desert. The desert jump has a completely different feel, as far as eye can see one sees nothing but sand dunes of the Arabian Desert. It is a marvelous opportunity to enjoy the contemplation of the desert views from the vantage point. A relatively smooth and quiet descent to the desert bottom is quite the opposite to the thrilling high-speed freefall.
Conclusion
Bungee jumping is not only an extremely sport, but also the adventure of a lifetime in Dubai. The beautiful scenery that the skydiver gets to see over Dubai including the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa, not to mention the quality gear and highly trained instructors make skydiving in Dubai a experience to remember. From a first time jumper to the professional one, the great weather, great views, and the exciting experience of skydiving make it essential for one to visit Dubai. Therefore, if you want to experience the most adrenaline rush, you should not miss the opportunity to skydive in this beautiful city.
