One of Dubai’s most popular traction’s is reopening soon

Dubai’s most iconic water spectacle returns as the Dubai Fountain reopens, bringing with it a symphony of light, sound, and movement.

A celebrated landmark in the heart of the city, the fountain once again promises to mesmerise visitors with its soaring choreography and immersive performances. Much more than an attraction, it’s a reminder of Dubai’s flair for innovation and artistry.

This top traction has been shut since Saturday, April 19, making the Downtown highlight to look dry during its renovation and maintenance period.

When did it officially launch?

Having officially inaugurated on May 8, 2009, at the official opening ceremony of Dubai Mall, this sought-after attraction is definitely a must-visit for all. With a myriad number of shows held in the Burj Lake, visitors have seen the fountains spray up to 22,000 gallons of water as high as 140m in the air at any one time while complemented by lights and music.

The fountain transforms every evening into an unmissable experience, an emblem of community, creativity, and the ever-evolving pulse of the region.

In an official Instagram post, Emaar shared that the Dubai Fountain will be full operational by Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

With new shows and enhanced programming, this return marks an elevated chapter in the city’s cultural calendar. Whether it’s a first-time visitor or a resident returning to a beloved landmark, the fountain’s revival is a testament to Dubai’s ability to create timeless moments that leave an indelible mark on the senses.
