The Dubai Fountain Show is one of the most spectacular attractions in Dubai, located in the heart of Downtown Dubai. Situated at the base of the Burj Khalifa and adjacent to The Dubai Mall, the fountain system is set on the 30-acre man-made Burj Lake.
Here's what you can expect from the show:
1. Timing and Schedule: The fountain shows typically run daily in the evenings. The performances usually start around 6:00 PM and continue at regular intervals until 11:00 PM. The schedule might vary, so it's a good idea to check in advance.
2. Performance Details: The Dubai Fountain features a series of water jets that shoot water up to 500 feet into the air, synchronised to music and light. The choreography of the water jets is designed to match the rhythm of the music, creating a mesmerising visual and auditory experience. The music ranges from classical to contemporary, including both Western and Arabic tunes.
3. Duration: Each show lasts about 5 minutes, but there are multiple shows each evening, so you can catch several performances if you wish.
4. Viewing Spots: There are several excellent viewing spots around the Burj Lake. You can watch from the waterfront promenade, or from various restaurants and cafes in The Dubai Mall. There are also boat rides available on the lake for a closer view.
5. Accessibility: The show is free to watch and is accessible to everyone. It’s a great activity for visitors of all ages, and it’s especially stunning at night when the lights and water effects are most impressive.
If you’re planning to visit, it’s a good idea to arrive a bit early to secure a good viewing spot, especially during peak tourist seasons.
