Water Fountain Performances outside the Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall in Dubai, UAE - March 2012
Every 30 minutes on the dot, there is a huge water fountain performance set to all kinds of difference music. There are so many different performances and are really nice to watch. The Burj Khalifa is in the background and it's the tallest building in the world. The Dubai Mall to the right, which you hardly can see, is the world's largest mall with over 1,200 shops, 160+ restaurants/cafes, an indoor ice skating rink, and indoor aquarium and a movie theater inside. I was in Dubai for 4 days, in Saudi for 3 months and in Bahrain for 3 days.
If you don't listen to music, you can simply mute your computer or device.

For the first 4 days of my 3 month trip this past Spring, we stayed in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We visited the Dubai Mall every day. It's a really beautiful mall inside and out. I learned that Dubai Mall is the World's Largest Mall!
The Dubai Mall opened in November, 2008 & is the world's largest shopping mall based on total area
and sixth largest by gross leasable area. It is part of the 20-billion-dollar Burj Khalifa complex, and
includes 1,200 shops & over 160 food & beverage restaurants/cafes. The mall is 4-5 stories high.
Dubai Mall has alot of the same mall stores that we are all used to as well as local stores, British stores, etc. It even has an ice skating rink & Aquarium inside! There is a movie theater and a HUGE water fountain outside that performs a show every 30 minutes to music. The fountain has different choreographed shows that follow the beat of the music. Videos are below.
