I will be going to Saudi Arabia this summer for work... so I was wondering if anyone knew of a DZ there? I know that they hold an annual international competition near Jeddah, but haven't really found anything solid on a permanent DZ. Does anyone have any more info?

another thanks to SSD. i was a new guy there two weeks ago checking out a few rigs. everyone was really friendly despite me being a noob... big thanks to sarah for putting up with my packing issues

hey all im in qatar temporarily for study... are there any other skydivers here? the closest dropzone that i know of is in dubai... so i figured chances are slim to none, but worth a shot!

thanks for the info. i see that the firebolt will perform as a good all-around canopy when put under a medium load. i just wanted to make sure i wouldn't break my face with it

Hi all, I've been shopping around for my first rig the past couple of weeks, and I came across what I think is a good first deal. It's a Firebolt 200 main, Angelfire 180 reserve, and Racer 2k3 container. DOM is 2005. This price asked for it all is $3200 (including a Cypres-2). The previous owner was 6'1'' and 180 lbs, I am 6'2'' and 175 lbs. My only concern with this purchase is that the Firebolt has an aspect ratio of 2.65 . I've only had 40 jumps... would this be too much for me? I've had good canopy control so far and soft landings. I don't plan on doing any fancy maneuvers anytime soon. Thanks for the help, -Tim

I had such a great time learning to skydive here. the instructors really love the sport and just want to help you learn to be a skydiver. The weather is beautiful in the summer and the drop zone is in a nice, calm area
