<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Extending up to 275 metres and shooting water as high as 152 metres, two half-hour shows daily, over 22,000 gallons of water in the air, over a thousand visitors every day,&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">illuminating Downtown Dubai with 6600 lights and 25 coloured projectors...this is the iconic Dubai Fountain. <em>So what does this renovation bring?</em></span></h3>
<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">The Dubai Fountain show, an iconic and unforgettable attraction that's synonymous with Dubai's beauty, has been temporarily closed since Saturday, April 19th, 2025. With a planned revamp across 5 months, a tentative reopening date has finally been shared by Emaar, the property developers behind the attraction, with updates on what new features we'll find.</span></p>

<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">In an Instagram post by Emaar giving us a glimpse of what to expect with this revamp, they commented under a user saying, "The estimated reopening date is (Wednesday) 1st October."</span></h3>
<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">However, they've confirmed that the attractions or show will only resume in early October. So what's new with our beloved fountain show? Expect advanced technology to enhance your experience with improved choreography, sound systems, light shows, and a new flooring that will shine through the water from every corner, creating a luminescent glow as the water dances above it.</span></p>

<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Since its testing-inauguration in February 2009, this was the first time the Dubai Fountain has shut down operations.&nbsp;<em>If you don't consider the COVID phase.</em> Located in the heart of the Burj Khalifa Lake, this massive showcase illuminates Downtown Dubai, redefining Dubai's spirit of innovation.</span></h3>
<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar Properties, said, &ldquo;<em>Dubai Fountain is more than a spectacle &ndash; it is a reflection of Dubai&rsquo;s soul, where art, innovation and emotion come together in perfect harmony. As we elevate this iconic landmark, we continue to create experiences that connect people, inspire wonder and stand the test of time.</em>"</span></p>

<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">One of our city's topmost attractions is returning after its first-ever break from the public eye! The Dubai Fountain never ceased to amaze us, and soon, it'll be back with a vigour like never before. So s</span><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">tay tuned, because there are a lot more updates to come!</span></h3>
