They're pretty tolerative about that sort of stuff around here. . . .who knows???? tell tell DO NOT make any illegal jumps in Dubai or any other Arab state. You will likely end up in jail or worse. Their law enforcers can make up the rules as they go along. Many police and security ppl carry fully automatic weapons and could get very nervous at the sight of you coming down under canopy. Picture THAT in your mind. Their jails are no picnic - crowded open cells with no heat or airconditioning - no washing facilities apart from a couple fawcets - open squat toilets. You do not want to go there!! Do you get the picture? DO NOT even contemplate a base jump off those amazing buildings!If you must get air time, go to the DZ up the road at Umm Al Quwayn. If you are lucky, they will be operating at present. PM me if you want some contacts there. Sorry if I sound harsh - I just would hate to hear of you coming to harm after a base jump, the possible consequences of which aren't fully understood.

desert1 0 #5 July 5, 2006 this might be the reality but if you got to jump then you jump, just do it carefully and no high profile stuff(plenty of exits that are not in the pictures that you see of dubai) luka--------------------------------- canyon bar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
