About this experience
The Dubai Fountain Lake Ride takes you onto Burj Lake aboard a traditional motorized wooden abra boat, cruising directly alongside the world's largest choreographed fountain system.
As the fountains erupt into 140-metre water jets synchronized to classical, Arabic, and contemporary music, passengers on the lake experience the spectacle from the water rather than behind crowds on the Dubai Mall waterfront promenade.
