What is the Dubai Fountain and where is it located?

At the foot of the Burj Khalifa, in the heart of the city, lies the Dubai Fountain, the largest choreographic fountain in the world. Imagine: evening comes, and suddenly the dark surface of the lake comes to life with thousands of jets of water soaring to a height of 150 meters. To the beat of the music — from classical Arabic melodies to modern world hits — the water dances, changing colors and shapes. I stood among the mesmerized crowd, feeling the cool spray on my face and forgetting about the time. This show repeats every half hour, and each time it seems unique. Nearby there are cozy restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy the view with a cup of tea or something stronger.

Despite its futuristic appearance, Dubai cherishes its history. The Dubai Museum, located in the ancient fort of Al Fahidi, offers a journey through time. Descending into the cool underground halls, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old city with its markets, houses and crafts. I was particularly impressed by the interactive expositions where you can learn about pearl mining, once the main fishery of the region. For art lovers, the Alsercal Avenue area has become a real discovery. Modern art galleries, cafes and studios are hidden among the converted warehouses. Here I met artists from all over the world, discussing art over a cup of strong Arabic coffee.
