The Dubai Fountain is a spectacular choreographed fountain on the Burj Khalifa Lake, shooting water up to 150 meters in time to music and lights every evening. Shows run every 30 minutes after dusk and are free to watch from the promenade or waterfront restaurants. It gets very crowded at prime spots, so arrive early or watch from a bridge or an abra boat.
