Helo Hiver friends. Hope you are doing great. Today, I am restarting my travel and exploration journey. Last winter, on Valentine's Day, we decided to visit Burj Khalifa. We knew that on this occasion, many couples were there to experience the most cherished moments with their loved ones. First of all, i would like to tell the people who didn't know the facts about Burj Khalifa.
It is 828 metres (2,716.5 ft), the 200 plus storey Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels, the most of any building in the world. The tower was inaugurated on January 4, 2010, to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum as the Ruler of Dubai. The Dubai Fountain is a popular attraction located at the base of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall in Downtown Dubai. The fountain is known for its captivating water and light shows set to music, and it operates daily. The best time to visit the Dubai Fountain is in the evening when the fountain shows are illuminated and become even more spectacular. Here are some details:

1. Evening Shows: The Dubai Fountain operates daily in the evening, typically after sunset. The fountain shows start at around 6:00 PM and run every half hour until 11:00 PM. The illuminated water jets, combined with music and lights, create a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa.

2. Light and Sound Shows: The fountain shows are enhanced by a combination of lights and music. There are various shows throughout the evening, and each one offers a different experience. The shows are carefully choreographed, making the evening performances the most captivating.

3. Best Viewing Spots: To get the best view of the Dubai Fountain, you can watch the shows from various vantage points. The Waterfront Promenade outside the Dubai Mall is a popular spot, as is the Burj Park. Additionally, some restaurants and cafes in the area offer outdoor seating with views of the fountain.

4. Special Occasions: The Dubai Fountain often features special shows on occasions like national holidays and other important events. If you're interested in a unique experience, you may want to check for any special shows scheduled during your visit.

Keep in mind that the Dubai Fountain shows are subject to weather conditions, and it's a good idea to check the schedule in advance. The area can get crowded, so arriving a bit early can help you secure a good viewing spot. Overall, the evening performances provide the most enchanting experience at the Dubai Fountain.

We arrived at 7:00 PM and noticed that the fountain show was scheduled to start at 8:00 PM. So, initially, we explored the inside of the Dubai Mall, which was adorned with beautiful lights following a Valentine's theme. Many families were present to enjoy the dance show. The gate leading outside was closed, and security only permitted families. Fortunately, being accompanied by our female colleagues, we were allowed to access the area outside towards the fountain side. Finally, the show starts, the water of the fountain were dancing on the song of Whitney Houston" We always love you". The scenes was so romantic. The couples held hands and hugged each other. At first glance, you might think it's just water being shot into the air in time with music, but there's so much more to it than that.

I can only imagine how beautiful it would be to experience it during night time with all the light and music.

The weather was cold, and clouds were enveloping the top of Burj Khalifa.

The song continued for 10 minutes, and everyone enjoyed the show and the music. After that, we went inside the Dubai Mall and enjoyed some fast food because we felt hungry. We left the place at 10 pm. This day was memorable for me. I hope you like all the pictures."
Thank your for reading. and Happy Valentine Day.
