Where can you watch the Dubai Fountain show near Burj Khalifa?

For a free view, use the pedestrian promenade around the fountain lake beside Dubai Mall. This is the main ground-level viewing area, close to the water.

Another free viewing spot is on the side of the lake opposite Dubai Mall, where a stepped elevated area gives a wider view of the performance.

To see the fountains from inside Burj Khalifa, book an evening admission to the At the Top observation deck, either directly or through ticket platforms. The view is through glass, and evening performances are scheduled every 30 minutes.

One recent evening performance began at 8:00 pm and lasted about two minutes; at around 8:15 pm, Burj Khalifa also had a light show lasting roughly seven minutes.
