Skydive Dubai should I believe the hype?

Their website lays claim to developing the most spectacular dropzone in the world.

Any field reports? Prices, facilities, number of jumpers there? Price of accomodation, getting there etc.

Given that the entire economy there (likely including the DZ) is supported, no - funded - by the gas you put in your car, I'd say yes.

I hear the owner owns two wind tunnels. One for customers and another one at his home. If true, I think that explains it.

That and anybody who is anybody has been there working or comps.... I know a number of people over there on staff and I don't think they would be there if the checks bounced or the place was a dump.

Looks pretty and has a hell of a view too.

Getting there is easy as the Emirates are served by all the major airlines as well as most regional carriers. Expect to spend a lot of money as it is a very expensive country. Also be careful with the booze - its fine in Dubai but the rest of the Emirates that comprise the country are much more conservative, and alcohol/pork/"porn" are illegal ("porn" in this case means any magazine that shows women with uncovered arms/legs etc)...

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...
