Dubai Fountain — a show that touches the soul and makes the heart beat faster These are not just fountains. This is the poetry of water, light and music, played out against the backdrop of the grandiose Burj Khalifa and the sparkling skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai. One of those rare moments in life when you freeze, forget about the fuss, about the phone in your hand, and just stare... with your mouth open and goosebumps on your skin. Each representation is unique. Classical music is playing, oriental motifs, modern pop music, and streams of water seem to dance to each melody, as if they had come to life. Sometimes they rise above 40 floors, then gently whisper below. This is hypnosis. It's magic. This is a real art created from simple things — water, fire, light and music. The evening show is especially impressive: when the city is already shrouded in soft darkness, and thousands of lights come on around. The Burj Khalifa sparkles, the music envelops, and the fountain blooms in all its might. You stand by the embankment, and it seems that you are in the center of the universe. A moment of absolute beauty I recommend it based on personal experience

We attended the fountain and drone show on January 5th, impressive, but we expected more.The music was hard to hear, the fire show on the water was visible only from one angle, the rest had to guess what was going on there.

We really enjoyed it. A lot of people. Apparently, many people like it and watch it more than once, because each show is different every half hour, with different music and the play of fountains is different. If you turn on your imagination, you see a lot of different images that water draws. I've heard a lot about this fountain. Now I've seen it. If possible, I recommend it. If you go out to watch the fountain from the Dubai Mall, go to the right, there are fewer people there

It's a beautiful show. It's better to look down, closer to the fountains. There is also an observation deck in the Dubai Mall. A limited number of people are allowed on the observation deck. In addition to the free viewing platforms, it is possible to watch the show from the cafe. There are a lot of visitors, it is better to take places in advance.

There are many "architectural wonders" in Dubai, one of them is singing fountains. The Dubai Fountain is one of the tallest musical fountains in the world (275 meters long, jets reach 150 meters high), located in an artificial lake with an area of over 12 hectares at the foot of the Burj Khalifa. The scale of the fountain and the light and music show has no equal in the world! The list of musical compositions for water dancing is diverse and regularly updated. The fountain "sings" with the voices of Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Adele. There are also a large number of Arabic compositions, the anthem of the United Arab Emirates and many musical compositions from movies. The music doesn't repeat itself for one day. In addition, the order of the tunes changes the next day, but the show always begins with an ode dedicated to the Sheikh of Dubai, Mohammed "Sama Dubai". The Swahili song Baba Yetu, which means "Our Father", is also played daily. It's hard to believe, but the Dubai Fountain was built for a little less than a year. First, an artificial pond was created, then a water cannon mechanism was installed. Six months after the start of construction, the mechanism was successfully tested. The first fountain show in Dubai took place in the spring of 2009, and since then thousands of travelers have been happy to watch the beautiful "water dances" with bright lighting, smoke and fire effects. Around the fountain there are many shops, chic restaurants, an oriental bazaar and the majestic Dubai Mall. I recommend every tourist coming to Dubai to see this fountain show! The real magic of water and light!

A very interesting show that generates to the depths of the soul. There are always a lot of people here, there are many options from where to look, but there is one that few people know about. A pontoon bridge is installed directly on the water, where there are always few people, even when there are wild crowds in the square behind the fence. The entrance ticket costs only 20 dirhams per person and gives the right of passage to the bridge for 2 sessions. For this money, you get the opportunity to watch the show in the very first row. You can move a little further away, or you can stay in the area where the jets of water reach to cool off after a sultry day.

Very beautiful fountains with musical accompaniment! Even kalinka-malinka is there)) The fountain show starts every 30 minutes and lasts 2-3 minutes. Of course there are a lot of people around, but there are plenty of locations from different sides, everyone finds a place for themselves! In general, a cool beautiful place!

A fascinating singing fountain that works every day. During the day, an ordinary fountain, but in the evening, a miracle, a wonderful miracle! It starts at 18:00 and lasts until night. The songs are gorgeous and the Burj Khalifa laser show is in between. Also, if you take the subway, you can walk to the Dubai Mall from which you can go to the fountains.If you are vacationing or planning to go to Dubai, be sure to visit these magnificent all-famous mighty singing giga tera mega super duper fountains!

It is definitely worth visiting once. Starting at 18:00 - every 30 minutes there is a beautiful performance. The water reaches very high to the heavens. It is better to enjoy the spectacle from the terrace of any restaurant located in the visible area of the fountain.

I have seen and heard singing fountains many times. It happened in different cities and countries: in Barcelona on Montjuic Mountain, in Adler Olympic Park and Sochi, in Kislovodsk and Yaroslavl, in Tashkent and Batumi, in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Moreover, the fountains there were musical in color, while in Dubai the fountain jets were monochrome, simply illuminated. But it was the Dubai performance that really caught the imagination. Here, showiness and entertainment are achieved due to high technology and technicality, dynamism and well-coordinated coherence, harmony of music and movement. The fountain show made a strong impression and caused vivid emotions. It was so aesthetically pleasing and exciting (especially against the backdrop of skyscrapers and the Burj Khalifa with evening lighting), voluminous and powerful (jets shoot up to 150 m!), elegant and organic, beautiful and refreshing. A 100% worthy sight, a must-see. Moreover, there are plenty of opportunities for this: performances are held every half hour from 6 p.m., and musical compositions are not repeated during the evening. There are plenty of places to watch and film: on the embankment, along an artificial lake; and on boats (if you have time to take seats); and on the terrace of the Dubai Mall. You can access it from the Apple store on the first level. You'll have to stand in line at the exit: a stern-looking security guard lets the audience through in portions, as they are distributed along the balcony. But those who want to eventually get in (like us, for example) and everyone enjoys the spectacle on equal terms.

The place is very beautiful, the photos are amazing! But the fountain itself wasn't about anything at all, I didn't like the word at all, the music was ugly, there were a lot of people. 5 stars for the stunning beauty of this place.

For me, this fountain can only be compared to the fountain in front of the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas -) If there is a golden ratio in the "singing fountains", then it really exists - there, in Vegas and here, in Dubai. When you look at the show, sometimes it's even difficult to understand whether the music was created to match the dance of the water or vice versa; the fountains work so synchronously. Some absolutely amazing engineering and creative work. Some people like multi-colored fountains, but I prefer monochrome ones. Here, as in a black-and-white movie, no one and nothing can distract you from the beauty of art. Fountains look good during the day, but when it gets dark, light is added to the music and the water literally begins to play with different colors. The musical program of the fountains changes regularly, so you never know exactly what kind of music you will hear today. And there's a certain charm to it, too.

The singing fountains in Dubai are an unforgettable sight! Every time I visit them, I am surprised at how beautiful and impressive they are. The music and dancing of the water create an incredible atmosphere, and the spectacle when the fountain raises the jets to a height of up to 150 meters is simply mesmerizing. It is especially impressive how the water "dances" to the beat of the melody — it looks like art. The fountains are located on the lake at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, and the evening illumination makes the spectacle even more magical. There are also many cozy cafes and shops around, so it's a pleasure to spend an evening here. I recommend that everyone who comes to Dubai, be sure to watch this bright and beautiful show!

Fountains? Well.... You should not go there for them, if you are there, then look, but do not build expectations. I looked at all the best places to watch them, as a result, we watched from the balcony of Time Out Market Dubai. This is an ordinary food court, where there are a lot of different establishments. You enter and walk all the way to the balcony. That's all, no one is stopped, there are no restrictions. You can see all the fountains from a height. There is also an observation deck below, but you need to go around the entire building, the view is not very good.

I just have to share my emotions from visiting Dubai fountains. It was something incredible that everyone should definitely see. The show starts every night, and believe me, it's worth the wait. Music, light, water - everything merges into a single amazing dance. Fountains soar into the air to the height of a multi-storey building. Their movements are so smooth and precise that it feels like silk instead of water. The best place to watch is from the Dubai Mall. It offers a stunning view of the entire composition. I was especially impressed by how the fountains move to the beat of the music - they gently sway, then soar up with powerful jets. The atmosphere around is simply magical: in the evening, the city lights up, music creates a special mood, and there are happy faces around. This place is definitely positive and leaves an unforgettable impression. I definitely recommend including a visit to the fountains in your itinerary in Dubai.

A very cool fountain show and projections on the Burj Khalifa. We've been to two shows in a row. The first one was very short and about nothing (at 19:30), but I really liked the second one (at 20:00). In the evening, the show runs every half hour. There are a lot of people, take good seats in advance

Of course, it is mandatory to visit, but I was upset that they are turned on exclusively every 30 minutes and the songs will always be different, and of course the number of people (as soon as the fountain stops playing, everyone will run back to the Dubai Mall) take this into account when visiting. I don't know how, but the fountain in the Olympic Park in Sochi made me more impressed. It is better to see the fountain from a cafe or restaurant😌

Very spectacular! And in daylight, and even more so in the dark, especially against the background of the illuminated Burj Khalifa! There is an opportunity to view from all sides, but the best option is to go up to the second or third floor of the Dubai Mall, there are a lot of cafes with access to the balcony and the opportunity to watch the fountain! I recommend

The show impresses with the size and height of the jets. In general, it's beautiful, but it doesn't touch my soul, to be honest. There is something to compare it with, the fountain pool area in Nha Trang is smaller, but the Dubai show is lagging behind in terms of entertainment and expression. It's okay, Dubai engineers have something to work on)))

The unique structure is located near the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, in the evening, starting at 18.30, shows are held every half hour for one song, and this is repeated every half hour. Cubic meters of water soar up under pressure and rush down with a bang to the music, accompanied by music and unreal illumination. You can watch for free in the immediate vicinity, or choose the veranda of a cafe or restaurant in the Dubai Mall, bread and circuses- enjoy the dishes and watch the show without leaving the table.

Singing fountains are a miracle! I came 5 times and admired them with such childish delight every time! Masterpieces of world music and fountains that rise above 100 meters into the sky to this music.. Unbelievable! One day, climbing the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, I got to the fountains just at sunset, they are no less beautiful from above! The pattern they use to draw their dance..

Of course, if this is your first time vacationing in the Emirates, then you need to watch this show. Tourists always watch it from the side of the main building of the Dubai Mall, so there are a lot of people here and it is uncomfortable to watch the show.If you go to the other side of the canal, bypassing the fountain on the right, then the view is just as enchanting, but there are few people and you can calmly look and take beautiful photos without crowding.

Fountains are impressive, but only for the first time, of course, they change, like the background music, but they no longer give the same effect. For a few minutes, every half hour starting at 18:00. It's crowded, get ready for a crush. From time to time, videos are launched on the Burj Khalifa, the whole building is like one big screen, it's more surprising :)
