Splash Alert! Dubai’s Famous Fountain is Getting a MEGA Upgrade!

‍

Picture this: You’re in Dubai, the sun has set, and the skyline is glittering. You’re waiting for those iconic water jets to dance against the Burj Khalifa… but wait! Where’s the splash?

Don’t panic, fabulous people! The world’s largest performing fountain is just getting a seriously glamorous upgrade. That’s right, the Dubai Fountain is closed for a major revamp, and we’ve got all the exclusive tea on what’s happening.

So, What’s the Deal? The 411 on the Closure

The magic officially paused on April 19th, and the team at Emaar (the genius property developers behind this spectacle) have been working hard ever since. They completely drained the massive 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake: which, by the way, looked totally weird without water!

But great news! As of August, eagle-eyed visitors spotted the lake starting to fill up again. This means the project is on track for its grand return!

Mark Your Calendars: The Grand Reopening Date!

Drumroll, please…

The official word from Emaar is that the fountain is expected to be fully operational by October 1st. However, they’ve hinted that operations will officially resume in “early October”. So, plan your trips for the first week of October to be among the first to see the new show!

Get Ready for a Next-Level Spectacle

This isn’t just a simple facelift. We’re talking a full-blown, futuristic transformation! The upgrade promises:

• Advanced Robotic Tech: Robots will control the water and lighting for mind-blowing precision.
• Epic Choreography: The dances will be more incredible than ever.
• Enhanced Sound & Lights: The entire sensory experience is being leveled up.
• Remember, this is the fountain that already shot 22,000 gallons of water 140 meters high. Imagine what it can do now!

No Fountain? No Problem! Here’s What to Do Instead.

Worried your Dubai Mall visit will be less splashy? Fear not! Emaar has installed 500 metres of state-of-the-art digital screens along the promenade to keep everyone entertained with engaging visuals.

Plus, in a super generous move, Emaar is waiving rent for 50 lake-facing restaurants for four months. This means those terrace spots are still the perfect place to enjoy a meal with a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa, even without the water show.

So, while we miss the iconic Dubai Fountain show, the future is looking brighter (and splashier) than ever. This upgrade is set to make one of the world's most iconic attractions even more unforgettable.

Get ready, Dubai. The best is yet to come!
