  ## Overview

  Music, light, and water collide nightly in Downtown. With a little planning you can watch two different perspectives back‑to‑back.

  ### Showtimes (typical)

  - Afternoon mini‑shows most days.  
  - Evening: Every 30 minutes from sunset to late.  
  - LED shows sync on weekends and special events.  

  ### Best spots

  - From 124/125: Look for fan shapes and choreography patterns.  
  - Ground: Footbridge by Souk Al Bahar; terraces around Fashion Avenue.  
  - Boat: The Lake Ride for front‑row splashes.  

  #### Pairing tips

  - Deck first, ground second for “top‑down” then “front‑row” contrast.  
  - For photos, stand upwind to avoid spray on lenses.  

  > Tip: Aim for two consecutive shows from different angles.
