Dubai Residency

If the wind scrubbed yesterday's jump, this is the day it moves to. If it did not, this is a day in the desert.

Long wait before our slot with nowhere to sit. The activity itself was fine. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Worth it for the view alone. Everything ran to time. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.
Short, but the safety brief was thorough and the crew were completely unhurried. Worth every rupee.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.
Because a jump is a weather event. Wind above twenty knots, a cloud base under five thousand feet or poor visibility all scrub a load, and any of them can hold for a day. An operator selling you a one-day skydive trip is selling you a coin toss.
One other operator runs this trip. See all 2 side by side →
