Really good budget friendly activity to do for people of all ages.Many good photography options. Fountain light shows primarily occur in the evening and social distancing isnt just encouraged but keenly enforced.Only irritating part of the Promenade isnt the crowds in the evening, especially on weekends but the aggressiveness and impoliteness of the security personel, especially towards locals or certain Nationalities.Best option is to have dinner at one of the restaurants on the Promenade or overlooking the Promenade for extensive viewing. Even stores like Nike and Apple have a great view.

Nice place to relax and view the show. There are shows from 6pm to midnight. ( much like the Bellagio in Vegas) Plenty of resturants and the mall is right there if you want to wander through. You can enter the waterside from the mall or from the square next to the opera house... best to arrive early if you want a front row... and best of all it is free!

Unforgettable experience. I love this place, every time it’s like the first time. The show can be watched every half hour. Make sure come a little bit earlier to take your seat, because due to the new restrictions, it is necessary to keep a distance, so not everyone have a chance to see this beauty.

I loved it here! The view was truly impeccable, and the water was extremely clean. We were eating out for dinner, and when walking to the hotel room we went through the gorgeous Dubai Fountain. I did not like the amount of construction there, because it delayed us from getting to the hotel in the heat. I really enjoyed it here, and would come again. Burj park was also nice.

What a lovely view in night time. This is the most beautiful view you will see here around Dubai Mall as the fountain is amazing and the way rhythm happens with each different tune/song.I loved it and its amazing.

If you get chance, stay and watch a few different ones. Theyre every 30 minutes and a different song/routine each time.Well worth a visit.I find the place just outside the dubai malls souk market to be a good place to watch as the Burge Khalifa is in the background and you get good views of the fountains. Also it tends to be a bit quieter that side.

If you are in Dubai, visit fountain show (I think Its everyday show every 30 mins starts from 7pm). Definitely you are not gonna regret about 3 mins or so show for free.I would recommend to come 15 mins earlier to get better place in the first row.

The Dubai Fountain is a choreographed fountain system located on the 12 hectare (30 acre) manmade Burj Khalifa Lake, at the center of the Downtown Dubai development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was designed by WET Design, a California-based company also responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas.

A must visit place if you are in Dubai, the Dubai fountain.. the fountain is well choreographed and functions in sync to the music... a massive fountain runs for about 40 mins of water piercing up to 140m high... pleasure to the eyes watching the fountain show to a wonderful music and the colorful lights in sync.. without a doubt, a must visit place for everyone.. I would highly recommend visiting this place.. and you will not complain about it at all..

The Dubai Fountain is a must visit to see when in Dubai. The Dubai fountain is sync with music and it’s incredible to watch. It’s so beautiful and mesmerising. You can also take a boat ride along the fountain to see the fountain close up. I would highly recommend to watch the Dubai fountain. It’s also the largest musical fountain. A must do activity in Dubai for both adults and kids.

If you come to Dubai you have to see the Dubai Fountains. You can see it 100 times, but every time they give you another emotion. During my vacation every time I was seeing the show I was fascinated.

I absolutely loved watching this show, it’s just outside the mall and runs every 30 mins after 6pm. My advise is to come early so u can get to be in front as the crowd wanting to watch is massive and it’s a bit daunting getting clear videos from afar... loved love it

Review №25

The fountain is a larger one than in Las Vegas at the Bellagio and they certainly use it to the full extent. All the shows were incredible and the music works extremely well with the dancing water. The only issue is that with Covid, they are not allowing visitors to the rail next to the water to view the show. There are specific boxes you have stand-in and it is pretty far back from the show.

Review №31

The fountains are really nice when they are working the issue is that with the covid restrictions that they have most people do not get to have a nice view of them as they have limited the area to view the fountains and it is from a distance. You are most likely to have a good view from a restaurant overlooking the fountains.

There’s not much a person can complain about. It’s free, it’s huge, and it’s eye catching. Shows start at 6pm and are 30 mins thereafter.

From state-of-the art venue to breathtaking experience, from various viewing spots to splendiferous synchronisation, The Dubai fountain has it all to cater your entertainment needs.Moreover conveniently located right beneath Burj Khalifa, several songs takes place at the fountain every 30 minutes. Covid protocol is in place to better be ready for it. Two thumbs up.

Nicely engineered water fountain inside Dubai mall. Its a mood booster watching the foundation and music, we went during evening. Can walk around and take nice pictures, Emaar built this place well thought out and with some expert craftsmanship. The place was not that crowded when we visited. Enough parking is available but will take a little time to park taking into account the size and busy nature of the place. Atm and all major shops available inside. Take a picture of parking location details and try to remember the route where you came in, this will make it easy when you leave. Music and foundation happened at rough twenty minute intervals with different language songs. A good experience overall.Dubai is a lovely place.

Went there during day time (10 am) for a walk in the good weather and absolutely loved the calm. They have some nice background music playing all the time. Water is super clean. And you can stand / sit there for a while to relax. Benches now have the social distancing stickers, which helps.

One of the best man made marvel at Dubais, Dancing water fountains.. Located at the foot of the Burj Khalifa tower Witness the tallest performing fountain in the world during your visit to Downtown Dubai. The Dubai Fountain offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in a captivating water, music and light experience.Submerged within the 30-acre Burj Lake, at the foot of The Dubai Mall, powerful water jets are laid out strategically over an area the length of two football pitches. The fountain jets up to 22,000 gallons of water as high as 140m in the air at any one time.The fountains come to life every 30 minutes from evening 6pm, daily. The colourful, illuminated jets sways in time to a range of melodies, which will leave you spellbound. Some popular tracks include Michael Jacksons Thriller, Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightmans Time to Say Goodbye, and Power by Korean pop band EXO.You can also experience this wonder even closer with the Dubai Fountain Lake Ride, setting sail on the lake itself during the water show. They’re truly the best seats in the house.

The Dubai Fountain can spray 22,000 gallons (83,000 liters) of water in the air at any moment. More than 6,600 lights and 25 colour projectors have been installed. The fountain contains five circles of different sizes and two arcs. During the end of 2010 a new element was added to the fountain, fire, which outlined the fountains. The fire was temporary for the 2011 New Years celebration.[5] The Dubai Fountains project water in the air in many different combinations and patterns. The beam of light from the fountain can be seen from over 20 miles away.[6]The Dubai Fountain consists of many high-pressure water jets created by WET, including Shooters, Oarsmen and water robots. The water robots make the water seem to dance while the WET Shooters shoot water upwards; Super Shooters, which shoot water under more pressure up to 73 m (240 feet) in the air, and Extreme shooters, which can shoot water under the most pressure to 500 ft (152.4 m) in the air. These WET Shooters create a loud boom noise after water is ejected. The Extreme Shooters are used the least during each show because it takes a lot of time to build up enough pressure and energy to shoot water that high in the air.

Review №81

This is one of the most delightful experience is Dubai. I know it could be an overstatement but on a fine evening, just spend couple of hours here watching different shows from the other side (far from The Dubai Mall gate) where crowd is less. You will enjoy this marvellous mixture of water, sound, light and air. Clicking pictures or taking videos is fun but once you are done, just give one show your full peaceful attention and you will feel happy. Probably then my first statement may not sound as an overstatement. Good Luck!

A nice attraction very close to The Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa. You dont have to pay for fountain show. The fountain show was great. Just check the timings for fountain show before visiting. It is around 5 to minutes per show. But it is worth the time. The location is accessible by metro. The nearest metro station is The Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa station. From there you can visit this place by walking. The best place to watch the show is boardwalk for which you have to pay some amount.

After our trip to the top of the Burj Khalifa we decided to venture out and walk around the famous Dubai fountain. The sound, light and water show is really amazing. There are several vantage points to watch the water fountain show, which is really one of its kind. You can either watch the show from the ground or take a boat ride, which is quite special.
