Dubai Fountain Experience

This is the show that completely stops the city. The Dubai Fountain is Downtown Dubai’s most loved, massive attraction, especially when paired with a visit to the Burj Khalifa observation deck for breathtaking aerial views. It draws thousands every night with its perfect mix of music, water, and bright lights. Water jets shoot up to an astonishing 150 meters high. New performances are constantly being added to the line up. It is a spot that truly charms first-time visitors immediately.
