Dubai Fountain Lake Ride, Burj Lake

DubaiCruisesAbout 30 minutes

Dubai Fountain Lake Ride, Burj Lake is a cruise or boat trip listed under Dubai activities at RAAHHI TOURS. This ticket puts you on a traditional wooden abra on Burj Lake, at the foot of Burj Khalifa, for about 30 minutes while the Dubai Fountain performs. Instead of standing on the busy promenade, you watch from a boat carrying a limited number of passengers. The fountain's jets climb as high as 500 feet, timed to a soundtrack and illuminated by over 6,500 lights. The lake also gives a close look at Souk Al Bahar, The Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Emaar publishes fountain shows at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm (2:00 pm and 2:30 pm on Fridays), then every 30 minutes from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Tickets are for one date and time slot. On arrival you swap it for a printed ticket at the counter on the ground floor, then scan it at the turnstile to reach the boat. Listed duration or timing: About 30 minutes.
