Common questions
How often are skydiving jumps cancelled?
Wind and cloud cause roughly 10–20% of slots to move in winter. Summer afternoon thermals can delay desert jumps.
Is skydiving in Dubai worth the price?
For a once-in-a-lifetime aerial view of an iconic skyline — yes. Repeat jumpers often prefer less crowded drop zones abroad.
