Skydive Dubai turns 13, celebrates with a record ‘birthday jump’

Skydive Dubai, owned by Shamal Holding, celebrated on December 20, its 13th anniversary with a one-of-a-kind BASE jump featuring a record-holding skydiver jumping out of an inflatable cake lifted by balloons, at the Dubai Dropzone.

This unique project, born from a simple idea, evolved over six months of implementation, from designing the inflatable cake to engineering its compatibility with the balloons and making the jump possible. 

The effort was a testament to Skydive Dubai's passion for innovation. Collaborating with numerous partners, the journey was a true labour of passion, demonstrating the dedication that Skydive Dubai brings to every project, a statement said.

For more than 13 years, Skydive Dubai has stood as a must-visit destination and an experience for skydiving enthusiasts, tourists, and residents alike. It is the preferred choice in the UAE for those seeking an adrenaline-fuelled tandem skydive, the statement added.

Mohammad Javad, Vice President of Shamal Leisure, Shamal Holding, said: "Skydive Dubai has always endeavoured to proudly represent Dubai and the UAE on the global stage. It is recognised for always setting the standard in the sport worldwide.

“We were thrilled to witness and celebrate this remarkable birthday jump, which not only showcased the team's dedication and innovation but also contributed to Skydive Dubai's continuous efforts to elevate the sport and captivate skydivers for many more years to come." – TradeArabia News Service
