Great experience
This is a very relaxed small boat trip around the lake . Very organised with a fast moving queue to get in a boat holding about 8 people . It’s a great experience and I would definitely recommend it .

Directions to lake ride...
Directions to lake ride not very clear and no signs until you actually get to ride. Outside Dubai mall on LG by food court follow promenade walk round to right past the Burj Khalifa. Ride well worth money with spectacular view

People Also Ask
What is the Dubai Fountain, and is it worth visiting?
The Dubai Fountain is the world’s largest performing fountain. Stretching for more than 900 feet (274 meters) in length, it shoots water 500 feet (152 meters) in the air with 1,000 water formations and 6,600 lights. It’s worth visiting to watch the light and sound shows held 12 times daily.
Where is the Dubai Fountain located and how can I get to it?
The Dubai Fountain is located near the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, on the Dubai Mall side of the Burj Khalifa Lake. You can take the red line metro to the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station and walk for around 10 minutes or take a taxi. The Dubai Fountain is also included in many sightseeing tours.
Is there a fee for visiting the Dubai Fountain?
The Dubai Fountain and its regular light shows can be enjoyed for free. Visitors can pay for a ride around the lake in a traditional abra, which offers a closer view. There is also a fee to walk the 892-foot (272-meter) long floating boardwalk around the Dubai Fountain.
What is the best time to visit the Dubai Fountain?
The shows at the Dubai Fountain occur 12 times a day, with two shows in the afternoon (1 and 1:30pm Saturday through Thursday and 1:30 and 2pm on Friday) and every half hour from 6 to 11pm. The shows at night are more scenic. Plan to arrive early to secure your spot.
How much time do I need at the Dubai Fountain?
Each show at the Dubai Fountain lasts around 5 minutes, though you should arrive a few minutes early to find a good viewing location. However, each show is different, and you may want to visit at various times to see the other shows, especially during the day and night.
Where can I enjoy the best views of the Dubai Fountain?
Taking an abra ride offers one of the best views from the lake itself. The floating boardwalk gets you as close as 30 feet (9 meters) to the fountains—a popular viewing spot in front of Dubai Mall. Watch from the walkway around the Souk Al Bahar, across the lake from Dubai Mall, for a less crowded view.
