The Dubai Fountain is a captivating water, light, and music spectacle set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake. Designed by the creators of the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, it features jets that shoot water up to 150 meters (500 feet) into the air, choreographed to a diverse soundtrack that includes Arabic, classical, and pop music. Evening shows run every 30 minutes from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM (10:00 PM on weekdays), drawing crowds to the waterfront promenade. The fountain's 6,600 lights and 25 color projectors create a dazzling display against the backdrop of the illuminated Burj Khalifa.
Don't miss
- Watch the fountain dance to classical pieces like 'Con Te Partirò' or pop hits like 'Time to Say Goodbye'
- Take a traditional abra boat ride on the lake for a front-row view of the show
- Stroll the waterfront promenade for multiple vantage points of the performance
