Located outside the base of Burj Khalifa, this is an awe-inspiring show of water, light, and music known as The Dubai Fountain. The fountains reach up to 150 meters and are programmed with an impressive array of musical numbers. The best viewing areas are at the Waterfront Promenade or surrounding restaurants.
Get the nighttime view of Dubai accomplished by going right to the top of what is presently known as an impressive structure, Burj Khalifa - kudos for not calling it ' most spectacular'. Come up before sunset and watch the changing colors of the city as it fades from day to night.
Dubai Marina at night with its skyline all lit up You can even admire the views on moodily lit evening cruises aboard a traditional show. The Marina is also on the shopping list of restaurants, perfect for a relaxing and gastronomic evening.
Global Village is an extravaganza of cultures with pavilions that represent more than 90 different countries. Accompanied by performances, attractions, and a huge range of food options to eat on the go, what could be more festive? Among the pavilions not to be missed would be India, China, and Egypt.
La Mer is a beachfront haven with a casual and pop vibe. There are high-end restaurants, casual food trucks, shopping, and even outdoor movie options to choose from.
In the evening, The Dubai Mall comes alive with more than 1,200 shops as well as notable attractions such as the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and VR Park. Furthermore, it is adjacent to the Dubai Fountain where you can have a complete evening.
Al Seef, which combines old Dubai charm with modern architecture. It looks beautiful at night and is probably ideal to have a walk by the side of a creek. This place has a cluster of restaurants and is visited for the many cultural shows conducted here to entertain locals in Maheshwar.
The Walk and The Beach are two recognizable landmarks at JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence), where visitors can shop, dine or take part in other activities. The space also features events including open-air cinema and live music, essentially rendering it a bustling night-time venue.
Going on to Dubai Opera, the unique building with a name which speaks for itself. This architectural gem is the center of many beautiful artistic moments happening or about to happen here! At night, the building that resembles a show is beautifully lit, and no further than an external visit will make it worth seeing.
At night, the open-air shopping and dining promenade transforms into a buzzy social scene with an eclectic lineup of weekly programming interspersed throughout. This section is filled with street art, live shows, and interactive exhibits best experienced after the sun has gone down.
