Skydive Dubai location and opening hours

Addresses, hours and phone numbers

Hours as published by Skydive Dubai, checked November 2026. They change with the season, and the Palm's days changed after the spring 2026 suspension (three days a week at first, five by mid-May, per Gulf News), so check again in the week of your jump. Two small traps: on Tuesday neither dropzone is open, and the Visit Dubai page still showed an old "closed until further notice" line in November 2026, while the operator's own site listed these hours and sold tickets. Skydive Dubai also warns that it may close a dropzone without prior notice. Which site suits you is covered on Palm vs Desert.

Getting to the Palm Dropzone

The operator also describes the Palm Dropzone as being at Dubai Harbour; the street address is Al Seyahi Street. The tourism board, Visit Dubai, gives this public transport route:

1. Dubai Metro Red Line to Sobha Realty station.
2. Walk to the nearby Dubai Marina 1 tram stop.
3. Tram to Jumeirah Beach Residence 1.
4. Taxi, or a walk of about 20 minutes.

With a 7:00 AM slot, check that the metro and tram are running at that hour before you rely on them; a taxi from Dubai Marina or JBR is the simple option. By car, Visit Dubai says to take the D94 to Dubai Marina, turn onto Al Seyahi Street and follow the signs. Parking is not described by Skydive Dubai or Visit Dubai, so we cannot tell you whether it is free.

Getting to the Desert Campus

The Desert Campus is outside the city on the E66, the road to Al Ain. Skydive Dubai does not provide transport, and there is no public transport route published, so you need a car or a taxi. The operator does not publish a drive time; in a straight line the campus is about 47 km from the Palm Dropzone. If you want to stay close, Skydive Dubai suggests the Dubai Silicon Oasis area. More on the site itself on the Desert Dropzone page.

When to arrive and how long to stay

The time in your confirmation is your arrival time. If you book 10:00 AM, you arrive at 10:00 AM and jump later. Partner listings sometimes ask for 15 minutes earlier. From check-in, Skydive Dubai asks you to allow three to four hours, and weather can stretch that, so do not book a flight or a tour straight after. Most of that time is check-in, the weigh-in in your clothes and shoes (see requirements), waiting your turn and the briefing; the flight and jump themselves take far less (see height and freefall).

Friends and family can wait in the café, use the free Wi-Fi and watch landings from the outdoor viewing deck. Children under 15 must be supervised at all times; if both parents are jumping, the operator asks you to pick a morning slot. Pets are not allowed.

Best months and time of day

Visit Dubai calls October to April the city's outdoor season, and the Skydive Dubai school runs in the same months. The Palm Dropzone has also jumped in summer, when temperatures average around 35 to 36 °C, while the Desert Campus closes for an annual summer break with dates it does not publish. Wind is the main reason for delays, at ground level and at altitude. Skydive Dubai gives no advice on the best time of day; both dropzones simply operate in the morning, and the Desert Campus continues into the early afternoon. Book in the first half of your trip so a weather cancellation can be moved.
