DUBAI, UAE, March 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Emaar gears up for the planned renovation of Dubai Fountain, the date for its final show before the refurbishment has been revealed.

We look forward to welcoming guests back to experience the fountain in all its renewed splendour."
While Dubai Fountain undergoes its scheduled maintenance, visitors can continue to immerse themselves in the vibrant experiences of Downtown Dubai. From world-class shopping and dining at Dubai Mall to awe-inspiring views of Burj Khalifa, the area remains a dynamic hub for both tourists and residents alike.
Emaar looks forward to reopening Dubai Fountain later this year, ensuring it remains a cherished landmark and a source of inspiration for guests from across the globe.
