Dubai Fountain Set for Major Renovation, Reopening in October
Dubai’s iconic fountain, the Dubai Fountain, will undergo a major renovation after its final show on Saturday, April 19. The famous attraction will be closed for a five-month upgrade, which is set to transform the fountain into an even more spectacular display. The renovation will include state-of-the-art technology, an enhanced choreography, and a new sound and lighting system designed to offer a more immersive experience for visitors.
The Dubai Fountain, located at Burj Lake and adjacent to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, has become one of the city’s most popular tourist destinations. The fountain’s captivating water displays, accompanied by music and light shows, attract millions of visitors annually. However, to ensure the fountain continues to remain one of the world’s leading attractions, it is set to receive a significant facelift.
While the fountain itself will be closed for renovations, the surrounding 12-hectare area at Burj Lake will remain open. Visitors can still explore Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping centers, as well as the towering Burj Khalifa. The closure will not affect other attractions in the area, ensuring that tourists can continue to enjoy the beauty of Dubai.
Mohamed Alabbar, the founder of Emaar, the company behind the fountain, emphasized the significance of the Dubai Fountain as a symbol of the city’s visionary spirit. He expressed confidence that the renovation would further enhance the fountain’s status as a beacon of Dubai’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
The Dubai Fountain’s grand reopening is scheduled for October, promising a new chapter in its already remarkable legacy.
