Its a short show so kids wont get bored, but long enough for the adults to enjoy it. The setting and atmosphere is really nice and in my view this is a far better show than say the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Definitely worth a visit.

Every 30 minutes starting at 6 or 6.30 if I remember well. Try to book a table in advance in one of the restaurants in the souq area if you can ( I went to the thai - Mango tree). Great food and beautiful view over the fountain.

Although the fountain was quite spectacular, I was disappointed that the lights were only white. I think it would have been better if coloured lights were used.

We liked everything about them. Great family atmosphere. Lots of places to watch! Gives attractions in Florida a run for their money and its FREE!

Beautiful display of water fountains, coordinated with music/lights near the Dubai Mall. But the display was only about 2-3 minutes once every 30 minutes for certain hours during the day.

We were enjoying a quick lunch on the Tim Hortons' patio in the Dubai Mall when the fountains started to dance. What a surprise as I thought the show went on only after sunset.

Good fun to watch the fountains dancing along to music. Highly entertaining and very impressive. One of the free activities in Dubai and pulls quite a crowd each night.
