Perhaps the best way to get a close look at the dancing fountain in Dubai is to go for a boat ride on the Burj Khalifa lake. On a traditional Abra, you will sail across the lake and view the musical performance from an excellent vantage point.

Burj Khalifa at night is a great time to visit. You get fewer crowds and a splendid, bright-light-filled view of Dubai’s skyline.
Since a Burj Khalifa sunset falls under prime visiting hours, tickets are priced higher than if you book any other slot throughout the day. However, the mesmerizing sunset and view from the tower make the experience worth your money.
The Burj Khalifa prime hours for At The Top are 4 PM - 6 PM and for At The Top SKY are 9:30 AM - 6 PM.
