iFly Dubai
Located in the vibrant Mirdif neighborhood of Dubai, iFly Dubai offers an extraordinary adventure that replicates the thrill of a parachute drop within a controlled indoor environment. As a part of The Playmania entertainment complex, which features various activities like indoor skiing, football, bowling, and an Aqua Park, iFly Dubai stands out as a premier destination for those seeking an adrenaline rush without jumping from an airplane.
iFly Dubai provides participants, iFlyers, with the sensation of real skydiving through advanced wind tunnel technology. The facility boasts two state-of-the-art recirculating vertical acrylic glass wind tunnels, each extending 10 meters in height. These wind tunnels generate powerful air gusts that allow iFlyers to experience the sensation of freefall in a safe and controlled environment.

The experience has been frequently compared to bungee jumping, base jumping, and traditional skydiving, offering an exhilarating adrenaline rush like no other.
