Emaar has announced the temporary closure of Dubai Fountain.

The popular fountain attraction located at Downtown will close for five months starting in May to undergo a comprehensive upgrade and routine upkeep.

The renovation will commence in May and is expected to take five months to complete.

For years, the Fountain attraction has captivated millions of visitors with its synchronised water, music, and light performances.

Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, said: “Dubai Fountain is more than a spectacle—it is a reflection of Dubai’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.”

The upgrades will include advanced technology, improved choreography, and an enhanced sound and lighting system, designed to create an even more spectacular and immersive show, said an Emaar statement.

Emaar said it is committed to delivering exceptional experiences and the Fountain will be “even more spectacular upon its return”.
