Clymb Abu Dhabi to host free indoor skydive show every weekend throughout summer

Clymb Abu Dhabi is set to launch a new indoor skydiving show this weekend, with the attraction’s instructors showing off their impressive skills.

The Dare to Soar flying show opened on Friday and will take place each Friday throughout summer, until August 28.

The Yas Island attraction is home to the world’s tallest indoor skydiving flight chamber, where instructors will perform the weekly free-of-charge show. Anyone who is inspired to try it themselves will then be able to claim a 20 per cent discount on experiences booked until the end of September.

In line with the latest government directives in Abu Dhabi, all visitors to Clymb over the age of 16 will be required to provide proof of a "green pass" on the Al Hosn application to enter the attraction.

As well as indoor skydiving, Clymb, which opened its doors on Yas Island in 2019, is home to the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall, standing at 43 metres high.

The Dare to Soar show will take place every Friday at 6pm. More information can be found at clymbabudhabi.com

Types of policy

Term life insurance: this is the cheapest and most-popular form of life cover. You pay a regular monthly premium for a pre-agreed period, typically anything between five and 25 years, or possibly longer. If you die within that time, the policy will pay a cash lump sum, which is typically tax-free even outside the UAE. If you die after the policy ends, you do not get anything in return. There is no cash-in value at any time. Once you stop paying premiums, cover stops.

Whole-of-life insurance: as its name suggests, this type of life cover is designed to run for the rest of your life. You pay regular monthly premiums and in return, get a guaranteed cash lump sum whenever you die. As a result, premiums are typically much higher than one term life insurance, although they do not usually increase with age. In some cases, you have to keep up premiums for as long as you live, although there may be a cut-off period, say, at age 80 but it can go as high as 95. There are penalties if you don’t last the course and you may get a lot less than you paid in.

Critical illness cover: this pays a cash lump sum if you suffer from a serious illness such as cancer, heart disease or stroke. Some policies cover as many as 50 different illnesses, although cancer triggers by far the most claims. The payout is designed to cover major financial responsibilities such as a mortgage or children’s education fees if you fall ill and are unable to work. It is cost effective to combine it with life insurance, with the policy paying out once if you either die or suffer a serious illness.

Income protection: this pays a replacement income if you fall ill and are unable to continue working. On the best policies, this will continue either until you recover, or reach retirement age. Unlike critical illness cover, policies will typically pay out for stress and musculoskeletal problems such as back trouble.
