Dubai Fountain to Close for Five Months for Upgrades

The Dubai Fountain, one of the city's most iconic attractions, will temporarily close for five months starting in May 2025 to undergo a major upgrade, Emaar has announced. The world-famous water and light show, set against the backdrop of Burj Khalifa, will return in October with advanced technology, improved choreography, and an enhanced sound and lighting system.

Located at Burj Lake, the fountain currently features water jets reaching up to 140 metres, synchronized to a diverse playlist ranging from classical compositions to contemporary hits. The renovation aims to enhance the visual and musical experience, ensuring the show remains a standout attraction for millions of visitors.

Despite the temporary closure, Downtown Dubai will continue to offer a vibrant experience, with Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and the surrounding promenades providing uninterrupted entertainment and dining options. Visitors can still enjoy the city's skyline from the At The Top observation deck or explore the numerous attractions within the mall.

Emaar has assured that the upgrade will preserve the magic of the Dubai Fountain while introducing state-of-the-art innovations. The newly enhanced show is expected to deliver an even more breathtaking spectacle when it makes its grand return later this year.
