The Dubai Fountain is the world’s largest choreographed fountain system, located on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake, at the base of the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. Designed by the creators of the famous Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, the Dubai Fountain features jets that shoot water up to 150 meters (492 feet) into the air, synchronized with music and illuminated by over 6,600 lights and 50 color projectors. The fountain performs daily shows that combine water, light, and sound, offering a mesmerizing spectacle that draws crowds from around the world. The shows feature a mix of classical, contemporary, and Arabic music, making each performance unique.
When visiting the Dubai Fountain, the best time to experience the show is in the evening, when the lights create a stunning visual effect against the night sky. The shows run every 30 minutes from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with additional shows during the day. To get a good viewing spot, arrive early, especially on weekends, as the area can get crowded. One of the most popular viewing points is from the promenade outside The Dubai Mall, where you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the fountain with the Burj Khalifa in the background.
For a more immersive experience, consider booking a ride on the Dubai Fountain Boardwalk or a traditional Abra boat ride on the Burj Khalifa Lake. These options allow you to get closer to the fountain, offering a unique perspective and making the experience even more memorable. If you prefer a more relaxed setting, many restaurants and cafés along the promenade offer outdoor seating with a view of the fountain, allowing you to enjoy the show while dining. The Dubai Fountain is a must-see attraction in Dubai, combining technology, art, and culture in a spectacular display that captivates visitors of all ages.
