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!

Perfect place for iconic pictures and a truly beautiful and inspiring show with dancing water. Hundreds of synchronized water cannons send in the air water streams and coreographed lights just make things more awesome. Every 30 minutes there is a different show with music of many genres, good for a very varied audience. Find the time to see it, you won't regret

There is nothing like this in Dubai that brings all nationalities together for 10min! Every view is spectacular. These days you can see the fountain show every 30min. Book in any near by restaurants and spend a great night in Dubai. Msg me any time for help and support regarding the place. Also recommend to be on the are of At the top Burj Khalifa entrance. Cheers!
