About this activity

Combine two of Dubai's most iconic experiences in one unforgettable afternoon: ascend the Burj Khalifa to witness panoramic sunset views from the world's tallest building, then descend to the lake for a 30-minute traditional Abra boat ride through the Dubai Fountain's mesmerising choreographed water show. This 4-hour package pairs architectural grandeur with aquatic spectacle, both designed by world-class engineers.

Enjoy the world's most spectacular fountain show from the front rows of the lake ride. Burj Lake boat rides are available between 17:45 and 23:30. Observe the best sunset views from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, before the ride.

Burj Khalifa is one of the world's tallest, most famous, and most photographed towers. Besides being the tallest building, the Burj Khalifa houses offices, private residences, and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani called the Armani Hotel Dubai! If you are visiting Dubai, this is a must-see attraction.

Experience the magical performance by the world's most extensive choreographed fountain system from a traditional Abra (boat) on the lake. The unique 30-minute Abra ride (Traditional wooden boat) through the Burj Lakes will give you an unmatched experience of Dubai fountains. Designed by the same people who created the fountain at Bellagio in Las Vegas, it is the largest choreographed fountain in the world. There are 22,000 gallons of water floating in the air at any given time at the Dubai Fountain, the world's tallest choreographed fountain system. It stands over 900 feet long (274 meters) and comprises over 900 feet of water.

Book our Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain Show with the Burj Lake Ride combo package.

Insider tips

  • ★Arrive for the earliest Burj Khalifa slot to catch the sunset from the deck, then enjoy the fountains lit up as darkness falls – maximises both experiences.
  • ★The Abra boat ride is weather-dependent; check wind forecasts as traditional wooden boats can be affected by strong gusts.
  • ★Bring a light jacket or shawl for the observation deck – altitude and evening breeze can feel cooler than ground level.
  • ★Photography: shoot from the boat's front during the show for unobstructed fountain footage; use the Burj Khalifa deck for wide cityscape shots.
