Dubai will soon have more indoor skydiving capacity per capita of population than anywhere else in the worldl! Tourists to this thriving destination are cosmopolitan and sophisticated. There is no single 'type' of person who visits Dubai, and each of them have a variety of interests which this young, dynamic country works hard to satisfy. The new development at Dubai Sports City opens up so many new facilities that it would take pages to list them here. The main thing which we are interested in is the new windtunnel, or should I say 'windtunnels' because there will be two of them! Dubai never was a place to do anything half heartedly! So if you'd like to enjoy a taste of 'skydiving without the fear' or perhaps you'd like to develop your skills a little before going to try the actual thing, then we highly recommend indoor skydiving at Dubai Sports City.
Freefall simulators are also now de-rigeur for training of top level free fall competition teams and student skydivers alike, and they are also a way to experience all the fun of skydiving without the risk or fear. Young Emiraties, eager to represent their country at world level are now eagerly pre-booking Accelerated Free Fall courses (AFF) in the nations two wind tunnels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. With a population of less than 5 million served by two 'third generation' indoor skydiving wind tunnel facilities, this is the same number of facilities which serves 65 million in the United Kingdom.
