4.6/5
162 reviews

One of Dubai’s most compelling tourist attractions, the Dubai Fountain delights thousands of visitors every day. At over 900 ft in length – equivalent to over two football pitches – The Dubai Fountain is situated on the 30-acre Burj Lake and performs to a selection of different melodies. The fountain has a unique design comprising five circles of varying sizes and two arcs, and features powerful water nozzles that shoot water up to impressive heights.

Over 6,600 WET Superlights – the most advanced incandescent large fountain lights available today - and 25 color projectors create a visual spectrum of over 1,000 different water expressions while 50 color projectors provide a full spectrum of color with a total output of 1.5 million lumens. The fountain performs to a range of different songs from classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. When operational, the fountain has over 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any given moment.

    The guide staff were late and the queue was a bit of a shambles they didn’t seem to check the booking time on the tickets but the lake ride was excellent

    I watched the fountains from the boardwalk and the boat and I have to say the boat is such a nicer experience! It’s quieter and you get really close to the fountain

    Ich habe den 16. Mai 2025 21:45 Uhr als Besuchstag ausgewählt, weil wir am 10. Mai erst nach Dubai fliegen und bekamm dies auch als Verfühbar angezeigt. Als ich meine Buchung abgeschlossen hatte, bekomme ich den 22. April 2025 angezeigt, gebucht habe ich am 21. April 2025, stornieren war nicht möglich,. Geld weg und so neben bei, Dubai Fountain ist im Mai nicht aktiv, weil dann Wartungsarbeiten getätigt werden. Werde TUI für Ticket Vorbestellung auf gar keinen Fall weiterempfehlen.

    Wunderschöne Fahrt - spektakuläre Aussicht auf die Fontänen und die Lichtershow am Khalifa. Nettes Personal. Absolut Empfehlenswert. Minus Punkt für das Handling - es ist umständlich und zeitaufwendig die Tickets am Schalter des Burj Khalifas abzuholen.

    Nette Bootsfahrt. Nahe am Brunnen Falsche Wegbeschreibung von TUI: vor dem WAFI Restaurant befindet sich kein ticketschalter. Die Abfahrt ist dort, wo das grosse Schild LAKE RIDE steht. Umständlich: Zuerst das Ticket am Schalter abholen, obwohl man den Voucher ja bereits hat.
