- Gus WoltmannParis, France45 contributionsOur visit to The Dubai Fountain with my family was a mesmerizing experience that left us all in awe. Located right next to the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, the fountain show felt like the perfect way to cap off our day of exploring the area.
As evening fell, we found a great spot near the waterfront, and the anticipation built as more people gathered. When the show started, the synchronized water jets shot up into the sky, moving in perfect harmony with the music. The fountain's graceful movements, combined with vibrant lights, created a truly magical atmosphere. My kids were captivated by the way the water danced in time with the music—it was as if the fountain had come alive.
What made the experience even more special was how different each performance felt. We stayed to watch multiple shows, each set to a different song, ranging from classical to contemporary. The variety kept everyone entertained, and the shows were short enough that even my younger children stayed engaged without losing interest.
The setting itself, with the Burj Khalifa illuminated in the background, added to the overall spectacle. The combination of Dubai’s modern skyline, the fountain’s beauty, and the vibrant energy of the crowd made for an unforgettable evening.
Watching The Dubai Fountain with my family was a highlight of our trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. It’s free, family-friendly, and offers a stunning experience that captures the magic of the city.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MuhammadDubai, United Arab Emirates71 contributionsAn evening in the fifteenth century.
Dubai, a symbol of innovation and human progress, is filled with modern marvels. Yet, amidst this contemporary landscape, Al Seef Street in the Al Fahidi neighbourhood offers a journey back to old Arabia. Stretching along the banks of Dubai Creek for one and a half kilometres, the street is divided into two parts.
One side reflects modern life, with stylish restaurants and contemporary buildings, while the other side beautifully captures traditional Arabic culture and architecture. As you walk between these sections, it feels like stepping back four hundred years in time.
Here, you'll find buildings made of sand, lime, and stone, narrow mud-brick streets, and weathered wooden doors. Palm bark canopies shade the entrances to homes, ancient fishing nets hang nearby, and the soft glow of lanterns enhances the historic atmosphere. Among these settings, you’ll also discover various restaurants, including a Starbucks Cafe, designed in the traditional style.
I spend my evening here whenever I get time, it is one of my favorite places in Dubai.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SukhiPanesarLondon, UK43 contributionsVisited Dubai in May this year and we decided to stay on The Walk -- honestly one of the best decisions I could have made. You have everything on your doorsteps, great restaurants, shops and right on next to the beach. The evening strolls are the best but be careful of the vendors trying to sell you stuff but you get used to that after a while.Written June 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
