Traditional Abra Boat Tour for the Fountain Show on Burj Lake

Dubai · United Arab Emirates0.5 hours

The experience

About this experience

You board a traditional wooden abra boat and head out onto the man-made lake in Downtown Dubai. Towers rise along the shore, and when the evening music-and-light fountain show begins, the boat lets you watch it from the level of the water. It is a short, romantic ride that joins the old and new faces of the city.

The ride lasts 30 minutes, and the record lists a minimum age of 4. The boat is open, so a light jacket can help against the breeze. Show times fall in the evening, so it helps to plan ahead.
