After a five-month closure, the Dubai Fountain will reopen on October 1, 2025, following the completion of the first phase of renovation. The fountain, known as the world’s largest choreographed water feature and a central attraction in Downtown Dubai, underwent essential maintenance ahead of schedule to enhance its safety and reliability.
Phase One involved tiling, water insulation, and painting to preserve the fountain’s appearance and ensure continued safe operations. Emaar Properties has stated that Phase Two of renovations is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2026. This next phase will introduce new features aimed at enhancing visitor experiences through technology and creativity.
Regular show timings will resume with two afternoon performances at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm daily (and at 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm on Fridays), along with evening shows every half hour from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
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.”
