Alright, Dubai dreamers and dancing-fountain fans — brace yourselves. The legendary Dubai Fountain is taking a quick beauty nap (think of it as a very glamorous spa day… that lasts a few months). But before it shuts off the splashy lights and music, it’s got one final show lined up — and you better believe it’s going to be a banger.
Mark your calendars: 19th April 2025 — the night the fountains do their last twirl before the curtains close for renovation.
Since day one, the Dubai Fountain has been the main character of Downtown Dubai. With its sky-high water pirouettes, dramatic soundtracks, and lights that could give a music festival a run for its money, it’s no wonder the thing draws millions of wide-eyed humans every year. It’s basically Beyoncé… but in water form.
But even legends need a little TLC, right? That’s where Emaar steps in, making sure this iconic water wizard gets a solid refresh. And no, it’s not retiring — just recharging to come back with more sparkle, splash, and jaw-dropping vibes than ever before.

As Emaar’s main man, Mohamed Alabbar, put it: “Dubai Fountain is a beacon of creativity and excellence.” (Translation: This thing is fabulous, and we’re keeping it that way.)
Now, before you panic and clutch your Burj Khalifa snow globe, know this — Downtown Dubai is still going strong. While the fountain is on its well-deserved break, you’ve got world-class shopping at Dubai Mall, next-level dining (hello, cheesecake and shawarma cravings), and views that belong in a movie. Oh, and did we mention the world’s tallest building is right there just being iconic, as always?
