Unfortunately was only able to view from the 124th floor viewing platform of the Burj Khalifa, in the afternoon, but even from there they looked great. No doubt from ground level they will been even better, especially in the evening, when illuminated and the temperature is comfortable. Will definitely revisit on my next trip to Dubai.

You can see the show from the Top of Burj Kalifa, wait for the half hour. You can then descend and see the show from a different perspective. Worth the wait!!!

Definitely a must when travelling through Dubai. The shows go every hour starting at 1800 I believe. Each hour is a different song/soundtrack along with the dancing fountains and light show. Also watch the Burj at night, the lights on the building add this sparkle effect to it which is entrancing!

Once it is dark the fountains display an awesome show set to various tunes by different artists about every thirty minutes. A must see if you are in Dubai and at the mall.

Breathtaking, will certainly give you goosebumps, or bring a tear to the eye. Not to be missed. If you are looking for the perfect place to propose to the other half, this is it.

Wow, very surprised to see this rated so high. It's alongside a number of other Dubai attractions at the mall and the Burj Khalifa. See it if its convenient but it's definitely not worth a special trip. It's a regular choreographed fountain show set to music. It's not one of the seven wonders, it's not Iguazu Falls or the Catatumbo... More

just like any other musical fountain. The show itself is less than 5 minutes long. we waited about couple of hour for it to start, but in the end it was not worth the wait. If you happen to be nearby, then enjoy.
