Fontains

The Dubai Fountain, the largest choreographed fountain

The Dubai audio-guided tour leads you to the edge of the great basin where the Dubai Fountain unfolds, surrounded by some of the tallest buildings in the city, including the Burj Khalifa. In the evening, a true show combining sound, light and water takes place every thirty minutes.

A world record on the Burj Khalifa lake

In the same style as the famous Las Vegas fountain show, the Dubai Fountain forms the largest set of choreographed fountains in the world, far exceeding that of the American city. It is in fact the same American company that designed both. The jets, synchronised with the music, rise very high above the artificial lake laid out at the foot of the tallest tower in the world.

What there is to see

The show, free of charge, blends music, water play and lights in a setting of illuminated skyscrapers. You admire it from the surrounding terraces, the bridge or the approaches to the Dubai Mall. It is one of the most appreciated attractions in the city, especially after nightfall, when the jets stand out against the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa.

Practical information

The Dubai Fountain is on the artificial lake at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, between the Dubai Mall and the Souk Al Bahar. The show, free of charge, generally takes place in the evening, at regular intervals. The surroundings are freely accessible and on the level.

How often does the show take place?

In the evening, the sound, light and water show takes place every thirty minutes over the lake, at the foot of the Burj Khalifa.

Is the Dubai Fountain the largest in the world?
