Full description

Marvel at the illuminations of Dubai Mall Fountain Show on a 30-minute cruise by "abra" water taxi. A captivating water, music and light spectacle in Downtown Dubai, the Dubai Fountain is the world’s tallest performing fountain.

At over 900 feet in length (274 meters), the Dubai Fountain is situated on the 30-acre (120,000 m2) Burj Lake and performs to a selection of different melodies. Climb aboard the traditional wooden boat on Burj Lake, and cruise past some of the city's most iconic monuments, such as the Burj Khalifa, Souk Al Bahar, and Palace. Admire the city's stunning skyline from the water, before you take your position for a grandstand view of the illuminations. 

With only 6 people per boat, you are able to admire the visual spectrum of over 1,000 water expressions from an exclusive and intimate perspective.  Watch in awe as the fountains light up during a visual spectacle that features 6,000 lights, 25 colored projectors, and 22,000 gallons (83,000 liters) of airborne water! See a stunning choreography of light and water synced to classical, Arabic, and world music that will leave you breathless.

The fountain show was good.Collecting ticket was a pain as we couldn't find any sign boards showing where to pick up the tickets that were purchased online and had to run multiple times back and forth with no help. Hope you can increase customer satisfaction by setting some sign boards to help people navigate to the spots for ticket collection. Thanks- Teena

The best way, in my opinion, to see the fountain light show. It can can very crowded around the fountains and difficult to get an unobstructed view in the heat. Definitely do this when it is twilight. Boat took us close to the fountains and we had the best view. Great experience. Only 4 of us on the boat so they do not crowd you in.

The boat ride allows you to view the fountains from the very first row without a large crowd surrounding you. It's best to see the fountains once it's dark as the will look more magical. The description provided on how to reach the boats is slightly confusing - once you picked up your tickets in the mall (lowest level) simply head to the location that is between the lake and the Burj Khalifa where you will see a small sales stand with a "Lake Rides" sign.
