Itinerary
Paragliding is the closest you can get to soaring through the skies like a falcon. This sport of flying a lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure is an unforgettable experience. Middle East Experience will provide licensed and professional instructors with thousands of flights under their belt. With a wing that is large enough to hold two people, an instructor and a passenger, each person is seated comfortably in their own harness which are attached together. Once you begin soaring through the air, the pilot can guide to the passenger with controlling the paraglider. If the conditions are right and the passenger is willing, the pilot may turn the controls over to the passenger and let them experience what it is like to fly an unpowered craft.
Before starting your daring initial flight, your expert instructor will brief you on the basics of paragliding. You will learn how to open and close your canopy, pack and store equipment, buckle your safety harness and start your flight.
The thrilling experience of Tandem Paragliding is simultaneously the best way to be introduced into this sport and an incredibly exciting adventure on its own
