The Dubai Fountain evening show takes place every 30 minutes from 6 pm to 11 pm daily. Lunchtime Dubai Fountain shows are planned seasonally (not during Ramadan) and take place at 1 pm and 1.30 pm (1.30 pm and 2 pm on Fridays). Extra afternoon shows may occur on public holidays. Each show lasts for about 5 minutes.
All shows at the fountain are free of charge and are visible from every point on the lake and neighbouring areas. The most popular spot is the Waterfront Boardwalk outside The Dubai Mall. Additionally, the area around Souk AI Bahar also offers a pleasant viewing experience as it is less crowded.
Tickets to the nighttime hours of the observation decks that are in the Burj Khalifa are purchased in the same way as daytime tickets. Therefore, one way to make the purchase is online. The advantage of this method is that you can purchase tickets in advance and choose the night time you want.
In Dubai, you don't have to tip, as a service charge is built into the prices (especially with restaurants). It won't be considered rude if you don't leave the staff any dirhams. With that said, remember that the service charge goes to the business—not directly to the staff that served you.
Once you get to Dubai Mall, you need to walk through the mall to the Lower Ground Floor (also referred to as LG). The ticket office to the Burj Khalifa is within Dubai Mall, near the Subway sandwich restaurant on the Lower Ground floor.
Whether or not it is worth paying 300 AED to visit the 148th floor of the Burj Khalifa depends on your budget and your priorities. The 148th floor offers slightly higher views than the 124th floor, but the difference is not significant. If you are on a tight budget, then visiting the 124th floor is a good option.
So is it worth the trip? If you're a bucket list ticker then yes – the novelty of going up the world's tallest building is probably worth the entry fee (though perhaps not all the way to level 148).
A good bet is to go in the early hours of the day (8:30 AM-10:00 AM), early afternoon (1:30 PM-3:30 PM) or after 8:30 PM. The ticket during these hours is priced at a decent AED 135 and you also get a Burj Khalifa experience without the overbearing crowd.
