halorob 0 #1 January 13, 2009 Does anyone know about any DZ's in or around Bahrain. The closet I've found is in Saudi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 3 #2 January 13, 2009 well, saudi is closer, uae probably has a few IIRC... just dont try to traffic drugs in saudi, they will kill you it says so on thier customs sheet "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

looserslounge 0 #4 January 13, 2009 I didnt think Saudi had one, your best bet is UAQ 40 min drive to the north of Dubai, It's where I jump. The people are friendly, but if you want to get a lot of jumps, go there during the week and let me know Ill jump all day with you, and I could arrange for a couple of other jumpers too. Sometimes I have to split up the cost of a jump ticket or two if there arent enough people for the load. Weekends are usually busy with tandems. Im new to the sport but I got on 6 loads on Sunday. Exit for fun jumpers is usually 9,000 which is 100Dhs= 26usd. Its not that bad there and they are making some changes soon??? They really need some different aircraft. Currently a C182 and a Airvan 6 place. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomal2day 0 #5 January 13, 2009 Saudi won't work. You need to have a visa to enter the country, and it is very difficult to get. You will need an invitation from a local company to sponsor you to have a reason for the visa in the first place. Plus I believe the only dz is presently inactive... But on that specific point I could be incorrect. 'To fly is heaven, to freefall is divine' 'You only need 2 tools. WD40 for when it doesn't move but should, and duct tape for when it moves but shouldn't' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimp 1 #6 January 13, 2009 Military only in Bahrain, if you are military you might have a chance. Super nice guys, do mostly (classic) accuracy. Qatar also as a military team (4way). Otherwise, it's UAQ. Very friendly dz as has been mentioned already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
