Short answer
Skydive Dubai runs the tandem jump from the Palm Dropzone in Dubai Marina or the Desert Campus on the Al Ain road. The price is the same on every booking site because the operator sets it, so choose by refund terms and the weigh-in limits, not by platform.

Prices were published by Skydive Dubai and checked in November 2026. The Palm price changes with the season. See the full price list and Palm vs Desert.
The numbers
You exit at up to 13,000 ft. The operator gives a freefall speed of 193 km/h on its booking page and about 200 km/h in its FAQ. Partner listings say the freefall lasts about 60 seconds; the operator does not publish a time. Details are on height and freefall.
Who can jump
You must be 18 to 75 on the day. Women can weigh up to 90 kg with a BMI of 27.5 or less, men up to 100 kg with a BMI of 30.0 or less. Staff weigh you at check-in in your shoes and clothes, so leave a margin of a kilo or two. People aged 70 to 75, and anyone with certain medical conditions, bring a fitness form stamped by a doctor. Check yourself on weight and age limits before you pay.
Money and refunds
The ticket costs the same on every platform. The refund terms do not. Booked direct, the operator refunds you if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. The partner listings carry their own terms: the Headout ticket can be rescheduled but not cancelled. On every channel you lose the money if you fail the weigh-in, the age rule, or the no-alcohol and no-scuba rule for the last 24 hours. Tickets and booking compares the channels. There is no promo code; offers lists what really lowers the price.
Yes. The UAE aviation regulator (GCAA) suspended skydiving in March 2026, and Skydive Dubai reopened in late April 2026. On 15 November 2026 the operator listed the Palm Dropzone as open Thursday to Monday, 7:00 to 11:00 AM, and the Desert Campus Wednesday to Sunday, 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM; the date picker above shows the days you can actually book.
How much is skydiving in Dubai?
Skydive Dubai published AED 2,749 for the Palm Dropzone and AED 2,199 for the Desert Campus, both with photos, video and insurance (checked November 2026). The cards above show the same jump in your currency.
Can I get a refund if I fail the weigh-in?
No. Failing the age, weight or BMI rules, drinking alcohol or scuba diving within 24 hours of the jump all lose the money, whichever site you booked on.
How long does the skydive take?
Plan 3 to 4 hours from check-in. The booked time is your arrival time, not the jump time, and wind can add waiting.
Is tandem skydiving in Dubai good for couples?
Yes, but each person has their own instructor and their own ticket, and both must meet the weight and BMI limits. If you bring children and both parents jump, the operator asks you to pick a morning slot.
Which dropzone should I choose?
The Palm Dropzone gives the view of Palm Jumeirah, the World Islands and Burj Al Arab. The Desert Campus jumps over sand dunes and costs AED 550 less, but it is far outside the city.
