The Dubai Fountain will be closed for five months as it undergoes renovations to include new technology and an improved sound and lighting system.

Emaar said the world’s largest performing fountain is to undergo a comprehensive upgrade and routine upkeep from May onwards.

The renovation will see the fountain deliver new performances and displays with improved choreography, and an enhanced design, to create an more spectacular and immersive show.

Founder of Emaar said Mohamed Alabbar said, "The Dubai Fountain is more than a spectacle, it is a reflection of Dubai’s soul, where art, innovation, and emotion come together in perfect harmony. As we elevate this iconic landmark, we continue to create experiences that connect people, inspire wonder, and stand the test of time."
