Although the fountain was quite spectacular, I was disappointed that the lights were only white. I think it would have been better if coloured lights were used.

Beautiful display of water fountains, coordinated with music/lights near the Dubai Mall. But the display was only about 2-3 minutes once every 30 minutes for certain hours during the day.

We were enjoying a quick lunch on the Tim Hortons' patio in the Dubai Mall when the fountains started to dance. What a surprise as I thought the show went on only after sunset. There are many many water jets in the pool that provide upward shooting fountains at different heights. It is the biggest fountain display I have seen...very... More

Good fun to watch the fountains dancing along to music. Highly entertaining and very impressive. One of the free activities in Dubai and pulls quite a crowd each night.

A must see when you're visiting Dubai. The shows are a bit short (only the duration of one song), but lovely. The water fountains actually seem to dance to the music and are beautifully lightend out as well. My favourite so far is Thriller from MJ, including some fog to start the show with. During the day there aren't much... More

This fountain is located outside Dubai Mall, and it started at 6pm and it's on every 30 minutes for about 4 minutes each show. The first one is Andrea Bocelli - the prayer, then hindi song, then arabic song, and I think chinese song, then I don't know the rest of it. This idea was actually invented (i think) in... More

I agree with a previous reviewer, this was my second visit and we had pre booked a table on the balcony at the Rivington, this way once you have jostled your way through crowds wanting to see the fountains, you just sit back, order your meal and watch the show unfold. The fountains come on every half hour, the tunes... More
