Market, the closest of the places we cover nearby.

Go at night

Cooler air and the colors are at their best after dark.

History

Set on Burj Lake below the Burj Khalifa, the fountain recently returned from a renovation and runs several shows through the evening.

Significance

A free, crowd-pleasing spectacle in the heart of Downtown: jets shoot high in time to music and lights, framed by the Burj Khalifa behind. Reviewers describe it as beautifully choreographed and unforgettable, and one of the best free things to do in Dubai.

Architecture

The spectacle is the fountain system itself, powerful water jets on the lake between Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa, best seen from the waterfront promenade or the Souk Al Bahar terraces opposite; the Downtown setting does much of the work.
