Explore Dubai’s Icons: Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall & the Stunning Fountain Show

Spending a few hours around the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountains is a must for anyone visiting Dubai. Here’s how to make the most of it:

- Start at Burj Khalifa #tallestbuilding Head up to “At the top” observatory deck for breathtaking views of the city!! The sunset is stunning (take your camara!) #sunsetviews but it’s also a very busy time, so consider booking your tickets online in advance to skip the lines! You would spend there around 1 hour minimum!

- Afterward, wander through the world’s largest shopping mall. Don’t miss the Dubai Aquarium (great for families) and also go check the Ice Rink if you want something different. The Dubai Mall can be a bit overwhelming since it’s always plenty of people around and a lot of shops, don’t try to visit everything! #shopping

- Just right after, catch the Dubai Fountain Show (I highly recommend to go at night to see al the lights). The show takes place every 30 minutes, everyday. #showtime #fountainshow The best spot to watch are from the mall’s promenade or the bridge connecting to Souk Al Bahar.

If you feel a bit hungry, I totally recommend to go to Time Out Market #deliciousfood just inside the Souk Al Bahar. It’s an open concept restaurant, offering a great variety of food, from Portuguese to Chinese, Thai… it also offer alcoholic drinks!

Tips:
- Book Burj Khalifa tickets in advance.
- The earlier fountain shows are less crowded (6PM onwards).
- Souk Al Bahar nearby offers great dinning and views of the Burj Khalifa.

Enjoy an unforgettable afternoon in the heart of Dubai!!
