Dubai Fountain Show and Boat Ride

• Being sure to exchange your ticket confirmation before hand at the Dubai Mall, make your way to the boat ticket office and board the wooden Abra, a traditional water taxi.
• 10 minutes before the Dubai Fountain show is due to start you'll set sail across the large lake, passing the towering Burj Khalifa, Souk Al Bahar, and the Palace en-route to the best viewpoint on the lake for the breathtaking show.
• The illuminations will then take place and you'll be spellbound as the water 'dances " to the music.
• Once the show is over the boat returns you to dry land and you're free to continue your evening. If one show wasn't enough for you you're free to stand by the waters edge and wait for a 2nd and 3rd show to start as they take place every 30 minutes during the evening.

• 30 minute boat ride on a traditional Abra.
• Watch the Dubai Fountain show from the water.
• Cruise past some of Dubai's iconic architecture.

• A valid photo ID is needed to collect your tickets from the Will Call Centre on the left-hand side on the Lower Ground level of the Dubai Mall.
• Boats depart 15 minutes before show times but you should be at the boat office 10 minutes before this so 25 minutes before the show.

• There is a chance you could get hit by the water though this is a rarity.

• A unique and memorable way to watch the famous Dubai Fountain show, away from the jostling crowds.
• A romantic evening for couples but also good for families.
• A memorable experience for people with spare cash willing to pay to get the unique view from on the water.
• If you don't have cash to splash then watch the Fountain Show free from the edge of the water.

• Travellers talking about this boat ride on GetYourGuide, Tiqets, and Trip Advisor agree that it's worth the money for the memorable experience and highly recommend it to other travellers visiting Dubai.
• People have described it as "A lovely experience "Out of this world "Soo beautiful and romantic and "The best way to watch the fountain show.
• People liked the intimacy as there are only 6-8 other people on the boats and you get a unique view of the show from the water.
• People report back that this tour is well organized although do advise that you read the ticket instructions carefully as you need to collect your ticket from the mall before proceeding to the boat office which does mean queuing twice.
• One person was unhappy, saying they could not hear the music on the boat but this seems to be an exception as other people rave about the good value for money and excellent time they had on the water.

Evening shows are the best due to being able to see the lights against the night sky.
