What Gravity Indoor Skydiving does

Gravity Indoor Skydiving is Bahrain's first and only indoor skydiving facility, founded in 2015 and operating a single-site, single-tunnel attraction at Gravity Village in Manama. The company runs a 12-meter tempered-glass Aerodium vertical wind tunnel (19 meters total length) — one of the tallest in the world and the only Middle East installation equipped with an indoor B.A.S.E. Jump hatch. Customers fly in controlled freefall sessions, ranging from first-time recreational flyers (minimum age 4) to certified pro flyers training for real-world skydiving, military airborne units, and adaptive flyers with disabilities. The business serves tourists, GCC families, corporate team-building clients, competitive skydivers, and birthday/celebration groups, and has hosted international events including the 1st Arab Championship (2017), Flight Fighters 2017 ($100K prize pool), and the 3rd FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving (2018).
