Dubai Fountain Show

The Dubai Fountain show is a spectacular water show that is synced to amazing music. Free to enjoy and an unmissable attraction of Downtown Dubai.

The ideal spot for viewing this show is outside Dubai Mall on its waterfront promenade; however, this can become congested. A lake ride on an abra can offer better views while remaining less congested.

It’s a must-see attraction

Downtown Dubai's fountain is one of the city's iconic attractions, drawing millions of visitors each year. Comprised of five circles with different sizes and two arcs that shoot water up to 500 feet into the air synchronized to music, its striking visual spectacle is free and attracts millions each year. Furthermore, special shows for holidays or other occasions make this attraction all the more appealing.

Families will love spending quality time together here, while couples will find it an idyllic spot for romance. Kids will delight in running around in the water while adults can sit back and unwind.

Visitors can experience this magical show up close by visiting Dubai Fountain Boardwalk or taking a boat ride on Burj Khalifa Lake, and getting an aerial view from At the Top Burj Khalifa - offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that is sure to create unforgettable memories!

It’s free

Though watching the fountain show from its waterfront promenade is free and can often become overrun with tourists, if you prefer a less crowded experience you could also opt for the Dubai Fountain Lake Ride which will give you front row seats and give a unique perspective of these incredible performances that combine lights, music, and dancing water jets into incredible performances that you won't soon forget!

The Dubai Fountain is an eye-catching spectacle featuring 6,600 lights, 22,000 gallons of airborne water, 25 colored projectors, and more to create a visual spectacle set to amazing music. The dance of water and light will enthrall visitors who visit Dubai - it should not be missed!

Experience something truly remarkable by booking a seat at one of the restaurants offering uninterrupted views of the Dubai Fountain show. These establishments can be found around Burj Lake and offer outdoor seating overlooking this breathtaking display of light and sound.

It’s a great date night

Are you in search of a unique and unforgettable date night experience? Look no further. This captivating show, comprised of water, lighting and choreography will amaze and mesmerize your date for 30 minutes to popular music like I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston and Thriller by Michael Jackson is guaranteed to leave an impressionful impression!

To view the Fountain Show best, the Waterfront Promenade provides the ideal spot. However, due to the limited viewing areas and crowds of spectators that might gather there early enough, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early in order to secure a frontal view of its performance. Alternatively, an Abra (traditional wooden boat) ride offers even closer views of this breathtaking show!

Dubai Miracle Garden is another amazing option, featuring life-sized flowers. At night when illuminated, their magical glow creates a truly remarkable sight.

It’s a family-friendly attraction

If you're searching for an activity that will impress the kids, head downtown to witness the world's tallest performing fountain. Spanning 275m-long and up to 152m high, this astounding show of water spraying up into the air from 25 projectors and 6,600 super-bright lights is illuminated with classical Arabic music from classic composers, Celine Dion songs, and Mission Impossible theme tune.

Dubai Mall's breathtaking light and sound show is only half the adventure; don't miss their captivating Glow Park either - an ethereal glow-in-the-dark attraction featuring fairytale carriages, prehistoric creatures roaming freely around and perspective illusions!

Burj Khalifa offers another wonderful spot from which to witness the fountain show, but be sure to book tickets ahead. GoCity Dubai All-Inclusive or Explorer passes include sunset tickets for At the Top levels 124 and 125 which offer breathtaking cityscape views.
