About
Jets shoot water up to 140 metres into the air, perfectly synchronised to Arabic, classical and pop soundtracks, with the Burj Khalifa glowing behind. Watching from the waterfront promenade is completely free — or hop on a traditional abra for a front-row view on the lake.
Things to do
- Grab a spot on the Waterfront Promenade 10 minutes before a show
- Take the lake abra ride for a close-up view
- Walk the Fountain Boardwalk right over the water
- Pair it with dinner at a Souk Al Bahar terrace
