Yes it is bigger, but it doesn't nave the ambience/romantic feel of the Bellagio in Los Angeles, and the fountain was out of time with the music. More

The Dubai Fountains are a wonder. Take time out from Dubai Mall to see them or better yet, grab a table at one of the restaurants along the pond for a great view with dinner. More

the dancing fountain is synchronized with the music ever so gracefully . You will be impressed to listen and watch the fountain dance to various international and local soundtracks . it goes off every hour or so , so if you are by the dubai mall for a few hours you will manage to see it dance several times .

We've seen the fountains many, many times but the attraction of the Dubai Fountains is more that. We enjoy having dinner outdoor, watching people (tourists, really) pass by and take photos and just simply relaxing to the fountains' music. If one has to visit, I wouldn't recommend just standing, gawking and taking photos of the fountains. We enjoyed the fountains... More

We didn't really plan to see it (didn't do our homework on DubaI). So we were walking inside the Dubai Mall and waiting for our shuttle to come. As we had already seen everything we wanted I asked whether the Dubai Fountains are far from Mall. We went out and got really lucky as the performance would start in 10... More

We were staying close to the mall, so we often walked over in the evenings to watch the fountains. They run every 30 mins and have different songs and shows. I thought Lionel Riches All Night Long was a good one. The whole thing last probably less than 5 minutes but then on every half hour. Its worth having a... More

Just if you go to Dubai, you can NOT MISS this. It is just amazing, far much better than the Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas. Good to go there and sit down to some of the restaurant on the surrounding, eat and chill, both for business, friends or for Couple. For me this was the main attraction in Dubai. The... More

Get a front seat by one of the restaurants outside the Dubai mall from around 18.30 and enjoy the spectacle. It doesn't get boring even after the 4th or 5th show of the night. More
