Dubai Fountain: Best Views

What to Expect

I've seen the Dubai Fountain show multiple times, but it still amazes me. So, I decided to share my favorite viewing spots. Look, the best spot is near the Dubai Mall, where you can grab a snack and enjoy the show. And, if you're feeling fancy, you can dine at one of the many restaurants in the area, like I did on December 15th, when I ordered shawarma from a street vendor on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Best Viewing Spots

Honestly, the Dubai Fountain Lake Ride is a must-try, it costs around AED 65 per person. But, you can also watch the show from the Dubai Mall's Waterfront Promenade for free. You'll get stunning views of the Burj Khalifa, and it's easily accessible from the Dubai Metro, just get off at the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station.

Timings and Prices

The Dubai Fountain show timings vary, but it usually starts at 6 pm and goes on till 11 pm. So, plan your visit accordingly. Here's the thing: if you want to avoid the crowds, visit on a weekday. The boardwalk is open from 10 am to 10 pm, and it's free to visit, although some activities might have a fee, like the lake ride.

Getting There

Getting to the Dubai Fountain is easy, just take the metro to the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station, and then follow the signs. You can also take a taxi, my driver, Abdul, always drops me off near the Dubai Mall entrance. If you're looking for other fun activities, check out the Miracle Garden & Global Village Combo Tour, which I've heard is amazing.

Practical Tips

So, to make the most of your visit, arrive early to grab a good spot, and don't forget your camera. And, if you're traveling with kids, consider visiting the Warner Bros. Family Fun Day for a fun-filled day. To book your tours, including the Dubai Fountain Lake Ride, visit Roamigo Trips, they offer a range of activities, including the 3D World Selfie Museum Dubai Tickets. Don't forget to check the timings and prices before you go, you won't want to miss this amazing show.
