Showtimes, best viewpoints, and how to pair observation decks with the famous Dubai Fountain and LED shows.


## 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.
