The lake which makes the foundation of the fountain lies in between the Dubai mall, Souk Al Bahar, and the tallest tower, easily available for visitors spending time in the mall. The synchronization of the Arabian music makes the appearance of cascades as if they are dancing and are referred to as the “Dancing fountains of Dubai”.

Tourists who want to have a clear view of the dancing fountains need to approach the waterfront promenade and Burj Park. To get the frontal view the best place is to enter from the central exit of Dubai mall, starting point of the waterfront promenade.

But this one is full of a crowd too. People also prefer to take a balcony view which can be seen below the apple store.

Time for Burj Khalifa Show

The timing for the spectacular light shows is not the same each year but alternates from year to year. The first water fountain starts at dusk and then night time shows start. The LED lighting displays start at 7:45 PM on the tallest building in the world.

But if you are planning your visit for the days of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday which continues after every 30 minutes and ends at 10:45 PM. Explore the fastest thriller activity held in Dubai with the dancing fountain show. Tourists who plan their visits during national or international days, special events, or any awareness campaigns will get a unique theme of lightning.

It is common for visitors to choose the traditional wooden Abra that rounds the lake. The running time for the boat is 30 minutes and leaves at a scheduled time (15 minutes ago) before each show. To enjoy the “Lake Ride” the best way to choose is the advance booking method. 

But most people don’t know where to take tickets. So the point from where the tickets must be picked up is at the desk of the Top Burj Khalifa ticketing office. To enhance your water fountain experience choose to take a Dubai Canal Cruise.

Here visitors will enjoy a five-star international buffet dinner on the Dhow cruise. Explore the stunning new waterfall and other wonders of city landscapes of the Dubai Canal illuminated at night.

Fountain Boardwalk in Dubai

The truly extraordinary experience one can have by placing on the right and seeing the boardwalk on Burj Lake. Here tourists will get incredible dancing views of the fountain with no crowds.

A dangling platform from Burj Park in Downtown Dubai offers breathtaking views of the water shows referred to as Fountain Boardwalk. Here visitors will have only a distance of 9 meters from the viewpoint.

But I will mention here that there is an entrance cost for the fountain boardwalk of almost 20 AED. This cost will facilitate you to stay on a 272-meter-long walk as you love. The opening time for all days is 5:00 PM and the closing time is 11:00 PM.
