Short answer
Skydive Dubai published AED 2,749 for a Palm Dropzone tandem and AED 2,199 at the Desert Campus, each with photos, video and medical insurance, as checked in November. Partners sell the Palm jump at the same money converted to dollars, so no booking site is cheaper than another.

You can only book the version without media through the reservations team, not online. The two add-ons are sold only on top of the standard package. The table above converts today's price into your currency, and the cards show it on each booking site.
Fees on top of the ticket
Walk-in fee, AED 300. Without a booking you can put your name on the daily waiting list. If you get a turn, you pay the tandem price plus AED 300.
Last-minute priority, AED 700. At the Palm Dropzone only, a slot can be bought at short notice for AED 700 more.
Name change. The names on a partner booking must match the passports. Headout lists AED 300 per changed name, paid at check-in. Visit Dubai's own shop says a mismatched name cancels the booking with no refund.
The operator takes the full amount at booking; there is no deposit.
What the money pays for
The standard package covers the jump with your instructor, a separate camera flyer who jumps with you, edited photos and video sent within 48 hours, and medical insurance. The insurance certificate shows cover of AED 500,000 per person. The photos and video page explains what you receive.
The Palm Dropzone also runs its own runway next to Dubai Marina. Every booking site sells the operator's own product at the operator's price, which is why the cards above show the same amount. If you want a lower figure, the honest options are on offers.
The price changes with the season
The Palm price is not fixed all year. Archived copies of the operator's page show AED 2,499 in June 2025 and again in July and August 2026, against AED 2,749 in the cooler months. In October 2024 the operator charged AED 2,599 on weekdays and AED 2,999 at weekends; that split is gone now. The Desert Campus stayed at AED 2,199 in every copy we checked, but it closes for a summer break. The operator does not publish the dates of these changes.
Where you lose money
The full price is lost if you change or cancel less than 24 hours ahead, arrive late or do not show up, or fail the weigh-in, the age rule or the 24-hour alcohol and scuba rule; staff weigh you in shoes and clothes, so check the limits first. A payment is valid for 12 months and is not refunded after that. Weather is the one case that protects you: if the operator cancels, you choose a new date or a refund. Partner tickets add their own terms, such as Headout's reschedule-only ticket; tickets and booking compares the channels.
Questions people ask
How much is skydiving in Dubai per person?
AED 2,749 at the Palm Dropzone and AED 2,199 at the Desert Campus, each for one person with photos, video and insurance, as published by Skydive Dubai and checked November 2026. The table above converts the price to your currency.
What is the Skydive Dubai price in dirhams?
Palm: AED 2,749 with media, AED 2,449 without. Desert: AED 2,199 with media, AED 1,899 without. The versions without photos and video can only be booked through the reservations team.
Is it cheaper to book on Headout, GetYourGuide or Klook?
No. The operator fixes the price, and the partner cards show the same Palm jump converted at the dollar peg. The differences are in refund terms and payment options.
Is the price higher at weekends?
Not in November 2026: the operator lists one Palm price for every day. In October 2024 it charged AED 2,599 on weekdays and AED 2,999 at weekends, so check again before you travel.
Why is skydiving in Dubai so expensive?
The standard ticket includes a second skydiver who films you, edited photos and video, and medical insurance, and the Palm Dropzone has its own runway on the coast at Dubai Marina. The operator does not explain its pricing beyond that, and the partners sell the jump at the same price.
Do I pay extra on the day?
Only for what you add: the selfie view (AED 250) or the one-minute Instagram reel (AED 150). A walk-in without a booking pays AED 300 more.
