DUBAI: The iconic Dubai Fountain, known for its stunning water, light, and music shows, will be closed from May to October 2025 for a massive upgrade. This five-month closure is part of a plan to improve performances and ensure the attraction stays at the top of every visitor’s list.

Located beside Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, the fountain will undergo a full revamp with advanced technology, improved sound and lighting, and better water choreography. Officials say these upgrades will offer even more immersive and synchronised shows once it reopens in October.

The Dubai Fountain is the world’s largest performing fountain and a symbol of celebration for Downtown Dubai. Over the years, it has become one of the most photographed and visited landmarks in the UAE. These essential improvements aim to keep that reputation alive.

While the fountain is closed, Downtown Dubai will still be buzzing. Visitors can enjoy luxury shopping at Dubai Mall, dine at gourmet restaurants, or simply soak in the views of the Burj Khalifa. The city continues to offer world-class experiences even as one of its key attractions gets a facelift.
