The best of Dubai in 48 hours

Witness the tallest performing fountain in the world during your visit to Downtown Dubai. The Dubai Fountain offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in a captivating water, music and light experience. Submerged within the 30-acre Burj Lake, at the foot of Dubai Mall, powerful water jets are laid out over an area equal to the size of two football pitches.

Please note: The Dubai Fountain will be temporarily closed for enhancement from May to October 2025. More details about the closure and re-opening dates will be added closer to date.
