Your Guide to Dubai Fountain
Just reopened on October 1st, 2025, the Dubai Fountain now boasts advanced lighting, new energy-efficient systems, and updated choreography—making every show fresher and more immersive. The fountain stretches an impressive 900 feet across Burj Khalifa Lake, shooting 22,000 gallons of illuminated water to musical masterpieces, with over 6,600 lights and dazzling color projectors pulsing to every beat.
Evening fountain shows run every 30 minutes from 6pm to 11pm. Daytime shows run at 1pm & 1:30pm (Sat–Thu), and Fridays offer extra shows at 2pm and 2:30pm. The best part? Watching is free! But for an even closer view, you can book tickets for the floating Boardwalk or the iconic Dubai Fountain Boat Ride for as little as AED 45.
Whether you catch the action from one of Dubai Mall’s trendy promenade restaurants, stroll along the new Boardwalk, or hop on a boat ride right on the lake, you’ll be mesmerized by the spectacle. The fountain’s dance includes 1000+ different water patterns, blending Arabic classics with pop—from old favorites to new hits.
