Essentials about The Dubai Fountain in brief

The Dubai Fountain is an absolute highlight, and not just for fountain fans. Every day, thousands of people make a pilgrimage to the world’s largest water feature to witness its unique show against the grandiose backdrop of the Burj Khalifa.

The water games of The Dubai Fountain

The Dubai Fountain is located in the man-made Burj Khalifa lake between the two shopping centers Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar and the Burj Khalifa. Its location alone, directly in front of the world’s tallest building, is already a highlight. But it is surpassed by the water games themselves. Over a length of 275 meters, The Dubai Fountain can create up to 1,000 different water impressions with heights between 21 and 150 meters. The water spectacle is illuminated by 6,600 lamps and 25 projectors and accompanied by classical as well as modern Arabic and Western music.

The viewpoints of The Dubai Fountain

If you want to enjoy the Dubai Fountain’s water features as undisturbed as possible, you should look for a good seat as early as possible on most days due to the large crowds. A front-row seat is promised by the 272-meter-long floating promenade, which brings you to within nine meters of the Dubai Fountain. Other good vantage points include some of the restaurants in Souk Al Bahar, the bridge between Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Mall, and the Dubai Mall Waterfront Terrace. If you want to experience something really special, you can also book a nearly half-hour ride on an abra (a traditional wooden boat) and watch the spectacle from the water.
