iFLY Dubai offers the thrilling sensation of freefall skydiving in a safe, controlled, indoor environment. It’s a unique adventure located in City Centre Mirdif.
Key Features
Vertical Wind Tunnel: The facility houses the world’s first double vertical wind tunnel, which is about 10 meters (33 feet) high and enclosed by glass.
Simulated Freefall: Two powerful 400 hp fans generate an upward airflow of up to 200 km/h (124 mph), creating an air cushion that perfectly simulates the conditions of true freefall.
Safety and Instruction: The experience includes a comprehensive training and briefing session with a certified flight instructor before you enter the tunnel. You are provided with a flight suit, helmet, and goggles.
​One-on-One Guidance: An expert instructor is with you in the wind tunnel at all times to ensure safety and guide your movements.
The Experience
Check-in and Briefing: You register, sign a waiver, and then receive a 20-minute training session covering body positions, hand signals (since it’s loud in the tunnel), and safety procedures.
Gear Up: You put on your flight suit, helmet, and goggles.
The Flight: The standard first-time flyer package typically includes two 1-minute flights in the tunnel. While 60 seconds may sound short, it is longer than the freefall time of a typical outdoor skydive! You lean into the powerful airflow and feel the exhilaration of floating in the air.
​Weightlessness: The experience perfectly replicates the feeling of weightlessness and the adrenaline rush of skydiving, all while being just a few feet off the ground.
​Practical Details (General Restrictions)
Age: Flyers must typically be 3 years old and above. Minors must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.
Health/Physical: Participants should not be pregnant, have a history of dislocated shoulders, or certain neck/back/heart problems.
Weight Limit: There are weight restrictions, generally around 115 kg (254 pounds) for taller individuals and 105 kg (232 pounds) for shorter individuals.
Attire: You are usually required to wear comfortable clothes and lace-up trainers/sneakers.
​iFLY Dubai is popular for first-time adventurers, families, and even experienced skydivers looking for training time.
