This 30-minute abra ride sails across Burj Lake for a close-up view of the Dubai Fountain, one of the world's largest choreographed water and light shows, right in front of Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. It gives you a seat away from the crowded promenade for the fountain's evening performances.

Once aboard, the traditional abra carries a limited number of guests along the 30-acre Burj Lake, giving you an unobstructed view as the show begins. High-pressure jets send water soaring up to 500 feet in the air, timed to music and lit by more than 6,500 WET superlights. From the water, you take in Burj Khalifa rising behind the fountain along with Souk Al Bahar and other Downtown Dubai landmarks, all from an angle few visitors reach from the shore. With fewer passengers on board than the crowd along the promenade, there is more room to get a clear photo of the illuminated jets and the skyline behind them.

Make your Dubai Fountain visit even better with Burj Khalifa entry tickets for panoramic views, or go for a Burj Khalifa and Aquarium combo tour.

Frequently asked questions

This experience is a 30-minute ride aboard a traditional abra across Burj Lake, giving you a close-up seat for the Dubai Fountain show. It moves you off the crowded promenade and puts you right in front of the choreographed water, light and music performance.
The ride departs from Burj Lake on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai, right beside Burj Khalifa and close to Dubai Mall, so it is easy to combine with a visit to either on the same day.
The abra ride lasts about 30 minutes, timed to cover one full cycle of the Dubai Fountain's choreographed performance from out on the lake rather than from the shore, so you see the show unfold in one continuous ride.
You get an up-close view of the Dubai Fountain's water, light and music show, along with Burj Khalifa rising behind the lake and glimpses of Souk Al Bahar and other Downtown Dubai landmarks from the water.
