Dubai Fountain Show: Everything You Need to Know

The Dubai Fountain Show stands as a leading attraction in Dubai through its wonderful wedding of water effects with musical performances and illumination. This choreographed water display based at the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai began to entertain visitors from its inception in May 2009. Viewers can witness water jets that shoot 150 meters high while these jets perform to music and lighting effects for free.
