Free, great to see. Take a video of it the movement of the water to music is more interesting than you think. Memorable.

I waited for 3 shows back to back. I could not move away. I got goosebumps when they played Time to say goodbye as the soundtrack. I actually enjoyed it more than the trip upto the Burj. Please do not miss the fountains.

Amazing experience to see the water show, even better if you can get a ringside seat in one of the restaurants in the area, perfect setting.

These run every hour and they are way more spectacular then Bellagio. They run to diffent music every time (pop (we heard M.Jackson), classical, arabic, hindi). They are huge and really good. The area around teh fountains is a great hangout, clean. You can sit on the floors, You can dine at some reasonalbly priced restaurants while enjoying the view... More

We saw two "performances" (songs) of the Dubai Fountain and I want to see more! The fountain and lights were perfectly in time with the music and it was great entertaiment. The you-tube videos cant do it enough justice! Not to be missed.

I visited the fountain twice to watch the wonderful show. Every evening the show entrals the people who come to watch it. Different music highlight the show, starting with arabic music, then with mandarin, english and hindi. The show is must watch for anyone who is travelling to Dubai.
