Choreographed water, music and light shows on Burj Lake at the foot of Burj Khalifa, beside The Dubai Mall.

Dubai Fountain is the set of choreographed fountains on Burj Lake in Downtown Dubai, between Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar. Jets of water move in time to music and lights, and the shows are one of the most popular free sights in the city.

Emaar lists afternoon shows Saturday to Thursday at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm and on Friday at 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm, with evening shows daily from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Emaar also sells closer views from the Dubai Fountain Boardwalk and lake rides on a traditional abra; book those on ticket.atthetop.ae.

Evening shows are the most popular, so arrive early for a spot on the promenade. Source: emaar.com/en/at-the-top-burj-khalifa. Last checked 7 November 2026.
