From Adele To Amr Diab Songs, Dubai Fountain’s Season Farewell Was A Musical Extravaganza

The Dubai Fountain, one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, went out with a bang on Saturday night. With the fountain about to undergo a five-month renovation, its final show before the break was nothing short of epic. This wasn’t just a fountain performance; it was a full-on musical extravaganza that had everyone on their feet, swaying, recording, and soaking in the spectacle one last time before the water jets took a temporary hiatus.

Dubai Fountain Bids Final Goodbye For 5 Months With A Show-Stopping Finale

Set on the stunning 30-acre Burj Lake, the Dubai Fountain is a global marvel, known for its synchronised water jets that dance to a wide range of tunes. From classical masterpieces to Arabic hits, world music, and even pop anthems, the fountain’s performances have been a hit with visitors from all corners of the globe. And for this grand finale, the playlist was a true crowd-pleaser, blending musical genres from across the world.

A Playlist To Remember

The evening kicked off with a song that struck a patriotic chord with the crowd. Emirati artist Mehad Hamad’s “Sharak Al Ghay Fi Sama Dubai” resonated through the air, setting the perfect tone for the night. This anthem, rich in cultural symbolism, is a celebration of Dubai’s unique identity. Rooted in traditional Emirati music and poetry, it provided the evening with a nostalgic, heartwarming start, reminding everyone of the city’s roots before the international mix took over.

As the night progressed, the playlist opened up to a delightful mix of global hits. From Adele’s dramatic “Skyfall” (how fitting, given the show’s grand finale vibes) to the joyous “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Speed of Yellow, the tunes kept everyone on their toes. There was also some Arabic magic with classics like Amr Diab’s “Ya Ana Ya La” and Mohammed Abdu’s “Lana Allah,” which brought the spirit of the region to life.

The show even had a nod to K-pop, with EXO’s “Power” lighting up the fountain’s display, adding a modern, energetic twist. And for those who needed a quick burst of energy, Lyudmila Zykina’s Russian folk classic “Kalinka” had the crowd bouncing along the promenade. But the real star of the show, without a doubt, was the children’s hit “Baby Shark,” which had families dancing with joy. Parents were spotted carrying their little ones on their shoulders, making for some adorable moments.

The Return Of The Fountain Is Expected To Be Bigger And Better

While the Dubai Fountain is now on a break, fear not, this isn’t the end. The fountain will return in October, but with a twist. Thanks to an extensive renovation, the fountain will be equipped with enhanced technology, a revamped choreography, and an upgraded sound and light system. The music, the dancing, the energy—it’ll all be back and better than ever. So, get ready for an even more dazzling show that promises to take your breath away once again.

Though the Dubai Fountain may be silent for a little while, its impact on visitors will last long after its temporary pause. The grand finale was a reminder of just how special this landmark is—bringing people together through music, movement, and shared joy.
