The World’s Largest Choreographed Fountain System

Spanning the 30-acre Burj Lake, the Dubai Fountain boasts the title of the largest choreographed fountain system in the world.

Each show is carefully synchronized with lights and music, creating a magical spectacle that has drawn millions of spectators over the years.

Free and Premium Viewing Options

One of the most appealing aspects of the Dubai Fountain is that it is free to watch. Visitors can enjoy the show from the rails surrounding the fountain, accessed via the Dubai Mall. However, for those seeking a closer and more exclusive experience, there are paid options available:

  • Dubai Fountain Boat Ride: For AED 68.25, visitors can board an abra and witness the show from the water, providing an unparalleled view of the performance. The 30-minute ride operates daily from 5:45 PM to 10:45 PM.
  • Dubai Fountain Boardwalk: At just AED 20 per person, this floating boardwalk allows spectators to get closer to the action, offering unobstructed views of the dazzling display.

Performance Times and Tips

The fountain performs daily, with shows every 30 minutes from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. During Ramadan, the schedule may shift slightly, with performances typically starting after 7:30 PM. For the best views, arriving early to secure a front-row spot is recommended.

A Technological Marvel

Beneath the Burj Lake, a complex network of cables, pumps, and projectors powers the Dubai Fountain.

The high-pressure jets and nozzles are meticulously programmed to move in harmony with the music, creating a seamless blend of art and technology. A dedicated team monitors the system from a control room atop the Dubai Mall, ensuring each performance is flawless.

A Must-See in Dubai

The Dubai Fountain is more than just a water feature; it is an experience that epitomizes the spirit of Dubai. From its towering water jets to its perfectly choreographed movements, the fountain leaves spectators in awe. Whether you are visiting for a short time or have lived in the emirate for years, this iconic attraction is a must-see that never fails to impress.
