Dubai’s skyline is defined by one singular icon — the towering Burj Khalifa — and at its feet dances one of the world’s most spectacular water shows: the Dubai Fountain. Standing atop the observation decks of the Burj Khalifa, you gaze over a futuristic cityscape of gleaming spires, shimmering glass facades, and sunlit deserts. As twilight approaches, the Dubai Fountain springs to life. Jets shoot water up to 500 feet, illuminated by 6,600 lights and synchronized to melodies that range from classical to contemporary tunes. This choreographed spectacle takes place every half hour in the evening, set against the dramatic backdrop of skyscrapers and the lake. Combining the awe of vertical vistas with the poetic motion of fountains, this tour delivers a magical fusion of height and artistry that captures the soul of Dubai.
