About The Dubai Fountain

Set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake, The Dubai Fountain is one of the world's largest choreographed fountain systems. Its powerful jets shoot water up to 500 feet into the air, dancing in sync with vibrant light displays and a wide range of musical scores. Visitors gather along the lakeside promenade or board traditional abra boats to catch the dramatic evening performances set against the backdrop of the illuminated Burj Khalifa.
