About
The Dubai Fountain sits on Burj Khalifa Lake, at the foot of the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, in the Dubai Emirate of the United Arab Emirates. It is also known as the Burj Khalifa Lake Fountain or the Dancing Fountain, and it is billed as the world's largest choreographed fountain system.
What the visit is like
The fountain performs water shows set to music, and these are staged daily. Jets of water rise and fall in time with the soundtrack, so the display is best seen as a performance rather than a static feature. Because the lake lies beside the tower, the surrounding views give the water a striking backdrop, whether you watch from the edge of the lake or from a spot further along the promenade.

Downtown Dubai is a busy district of shops, restaurants and hotels, so the fountain pairs easily with a wider evening out. Allow time to find a viewing position before a show begins, as the lakeside fills up.
