5 Best Places to View The Dubai Fountains

The majestic fountains at the bottom of the Burj Khalifa are a sight to behold. With jets shooting 150 meters upwards, they're said to be visible from over 20 miles away, but we've picked out the best viewing points for you that are a little closer.

  • Souk Al Bahar

    1. Souk Al Bahar

    Get in a little retail therapy here, but also see great views of the fountain show! Have dinner at one of its restaurants facing the Burj Khalifa while admiring the view.

  • Dubai Mall - Kinokuniya Bookshop

    2. Dubai Mall - Kinokuniya Bookshop

    Are you a bookworm? If the answer is yes, browsing this Japanese bookshop (other languages also available) with the fountain show in the background may be your idea of perfection.

  • Dubai Mall - Waterfront Promenade

    3. Dubai Mall - Waterfront Promenade

    If you'd like to get up close on the action, this is a great spot as it's right on the Dubai Lake. Disembark from the abra here, buy your ticket, and enjoy!

  • Bridge between Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Mall

    4. Bridge between Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Mall

    By day, go shopping in Dubai's premier malls. By night, join the crowds on the bridge and marvel at the illuminated water and buildings adorning the city.

  • Dubai Creek

    5. Dubai Creek

    See the show while you float! From 5:45PM to 11:30PM (last abra departing at 11:00PM) you'll see the fountains themselves at the Dubai Creek, but also the patterns the lights make on the water!

Overall rating

The Dubai city tour was great, we had the privilege of experiencing the tour without any other tourists. Our tour guide Ahmat was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that he really enjoys his job. We got to see so many places that would have taken quite some time to see on our own. Definitely very beneficial to have a guide alongside with you explaining Dubai’s incredible history and traditions. Would do again!

Great day with Ahmed and Jaqoob. We never would have been able to see so much on our own. Having a driver made everything so much easier. They were both extremely friendly, courteous and professional and knew lots about the city. It was a long day, but worth it. We especially loved walking around the Dubai Marina.

I think it doesn’t make much difference between the 124th and the 148th floor. The view is quite the same . It would be nice if it was possible to buy cocktails in the 148th to enjoy the view. In any case it’s worth buying the vip tickets although they should be valid also for the way down.

If you want to get an amazing overview of Dubai in a day, I recommend this tour. The old city, a water taxi ride, the gold market, beaches, the palm, Atlantis, the marina (think Miami), the Dubai Mall, and the 125th floor of Burj Khalifa. Wow!

The view is amazing but I think it’s too expensive for that. But if you want some pictures with the sky view it’s perfect. We try by night but I think it’s can be also amazing by the day.
