While the UAE isn’t widely known for high‑profile bungee jumping like some countries, there has been bungee‑style jumping activity available at specialized adventure venues — mainly in Dubai — that also serve thrill‑seekers from Abu Dhabi and across the Emirates. This remains a niche but exciting way to get an adrenaline rush in the UAE.
🪂 Where You Can Experience Bungee‑Style Jumping
🎢 Gravity Zone (Dubai – Near Sheikh Zayed Road)
The most well‑known bungee site in the UAE has historically operated at Gravity Zone, a thrill‑sports venue in Dubai offering bungee jumps from a 50 m platform.
- This was billed as one of the first permanent bungee sites in the UAE and the only active bungee jump facility in the Middle East at the time it operated.
- It operates under professional guidance with safety briefings and trained instructors.
Note: Current availability can vary (some local reports indicate past closures), so it’s best to confirm directly with the venue before planning.
💸 Typical Prices for Bungee Jumps
While exact pricing changes over time and depends on promotions or packages, typical current or recent price ranges have been approximately:
🪢 Single & Tandem Jump Pricing (Dubai)
- Single Bungee Jump: ~AED 350 per person
- Tandem Jump (2 people): ~AED 550 for two participants
(Some deals include photos or video at slightly different price points.)
These figures come from recent local offers showing price ranges for a classic 50 m bungee style jump experience.
🧗♂️ What the Jump Experience Includes
Most bungee jumps at Gravity Zone or similar setups typically include:
- Safety briefing and harness fitting

Operators impose age, weight, and health criteria for safety, such as minimum ages (often ~14+) and maximum weights for single/tandem jumps.
