    Absolutely mesmerizing! The Dubai Fountain is a must-see spectacle, combining music, lights, and water choreography in perfect harmony. Each show feels magical, and the Burj Khalifa backdrop adds to the experience. Best viewed from the waterfront promenade or a nearby restaurant. Don’t miss it!

    Very interesting mall but not for the poor man. Not many people are looking for designer clothes nor can they afford them
