Dubai Fountains
Any holiday to Dubai without a visit to the Dubai fountains would be a lost opportunity.
Set on the man made Burj Khalifa lake, the Dubai Fountains are the largest choreographed fountain system in the world. Designed by the same company behind the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake, you will bring a touch of las Vegas glamour to your Dubai holiday when you visit the Dubai Fountains.
A visit to the choreographed water dance is a particular favourite for those on a family holiday in Dubai. Kids in Dubai will love watching the 83,000 litres of water shot 240 feet in the area. Accompanied by both contemporary Arabic and world music, the shows are staged every day at 1.00 pm and again at 1.30pm. Adults on holiday in Dubai might prefer watching the evening shows running from 6pm-11pm. With a dazzling illumination of light, the shooting water jets can bee seen as far as 20 miles away.
For that extra special experience on your Dubai holiday, why not take a ride aboard an Abra at the Burj Khalifa lake. Boat trips aboard an Abra have long been a particular feature of Dubai holidays. Historically Abra trips were only available for passengers crossing the Dubai Creek from Deira to Bur Dubai. Today, Abra's have become a popular tourist attraction for those on holiday in Dubai with Abra's operating both in the mad made lakes of the Madinat Jumeirah complex and now the Burj Khalifa lake. The Abra journey will take you around the 30 acre lake which is surrounded by global icons including Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Souk Al Bahar, an Arabesque retail and dining out destination; and The Palace Downtown Dubai, a five star hotel.
