About The Attraction

The Dubai Fountain is a choreographed fountain system located on Burj Khalifa Lake, in the heart of the Downtown Dubai development in the United Arab Emirates. Recognised as the tallest performing fountain in the world, the Dubai Fountain offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a captivating display of water, music, and lights suitable for the whole family.

Set within the Burj Lake, at the base of the Dubai Mall, powerful water jets are strategically arranged over an area equivalent to the length of two football fields. At any given time, the fountain can shoot up to 22,000 gallons of water as high as 140 meters (approximately 459 feet) into the air.

The fountain performances occur every 30 minutes from 6 PM to 11 PM daily. The colourful, illuminated jets synchronise with various melodies that leave you spellbound. Popular tracks featured include Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's "Time to Say Goodbye," and "Power" by the Korean pop band EXO.
