burj khalifa timings

Timings: The fireworks at Burj Khalifa start at midnight and last for about 20 minutes.

Where to watch:The Burj Khalifa is located at Downtown Dubai, right next to the Dubai Mall. Note that this event draws in large crowds so the area around the tower can get very busy; try to arrive at least an hour early to find the best spot.

A Dubai fountain show is held every day of the week, at different times.

Timings:

  • Daytime: 01:00 PM and 01:30 PM
  • Evenings: 06:00 PM to 11:00 PM (in 30 minute intervals)
  • On Fridays: 01:30 PM and 02:00 PM

Where to view:

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. 

Timings: 05:45 PM to 11:30 PM
