Dubai Fountain is set to return to its rightful place as the soul of Downtown Dubai next week after a five-month hiatus.
 
The world’s largest choreographed fountain system will once again welcome visitors on October 1, ready to captivate audiences with its timeless display of water, light, and music.
 
The eagerly awaited reopening has already drawn significant interest from both locals and international visitors, many of whom have been following the fountain closely through social media updates and enquiring about the reopening date. Some have even planned their Dubai trips around this momentous occasion, underscoring the global significance and enduring appeal of this iconic landmark, said a statement.
 
Excitement and anticipation are building as families, tourists, and fountain enthusiasts prepare to gather for the first shows, which promise to mark a special moment for Dubai’s residents and the international community alike.
 
Phase One of the renovation, completed ahead of schedule, included essential maintenance works such as tiling, water insulation, and paint to preserve the fountain’s signature beauty and ensure its continued safety and reliability.
 
Emaar has also confirmed that Phase Two of the renovation is set for completion in Q2 2026. This next stage will see the installation of innovative new features designed to elevate the Dubai Fountain experience even further, blending creativity and technology to deliver fresh moments of wonder to audiences from around the world.
 
Upon reopening, regular show timings will resume, with two afternoon performances at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm daily, and on Fridays at 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm. Evening performances will run from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm, with intervals of 30 minutes, offering visitors multiple opportunities to enjoy the fountain’s stunning choreography.
 
Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, said: “The return of Dubai Fountain is a celebration of Dubai itself – its spirit, its energy, and its ability to inspire the world. This landmark has always brought people together, creating shared moments of wonder and joy. When the fountain reopens, it will remind us once again of what Dubai represents: innovation, ambition, and the creation of experiences that leave a lasting impression on everyone who visits.” -TradeArabia News Service
