How to use the online alarm clock
Pause what you are doing and use the 9:59 pm alarm as the signal to leave for the fountain show before the crowd builds. With 10:00 pm arriving almost immediately, keep your essentials together so you can step away without searching for keys, a Nol card or your phone.
Your fountain-show departure can easily pass unnoticed if the alarm sound is being sent to connected earphones instead of the phone speaker. Check the audio destination after setting 9:59 pm, especially if wireless earbuds were used earlier and remain connected inside a bag. Keep the volume audible and leave this page running while the phone stays awake; otherwise, the fountain show alarm may not sound when you need to break away.
Leaving for an outdoor evening show is easier when a late snack does not delay the moment you meant to go. Before 9:59 pm, water is practical in Dubai’s warm conditions, and a small, tidy bite can fit while you gather your things. Save a full meal, hot drink or anything messy for later, since carrying it through a growing crowd can slow your walk and leave you looking for somewhere to dispose of containers.
Common questions
Must I keep this tab open until the alarm sounds?
The alarm is tied to the current browser session, so shutting the tab or the whole browser prevents the 9:59 pm alert from sounding. Keeping the page open is enough; it can remain in a background tab while you do something else.
What happens if my laptop sleeps before 9:59 pm?
If the laptop sleeps before 9:59 pm, the browser tab may pause too, so the alarm could sound late or not at all. Keep the device plugged in, adjust its sleep settings, and use a phone alarm as a backup when punctuality matters.
If the laptop enters sleep mode before 9:59 pm, what happens?
Once the screen and laptop enter sleep mode, the countdown cannot be trusted to stay active until 9:59 pm. Set the computer to remain awake, connect it to power, and add a separate alarm on your phone for an important meeting, school run, or prayer time.
Could laptop sleep before 9:59 pm cause a problem?
A sleeping laptop usually suspends the browser, which means this page may not alert you at 9:59 pm. Before leaving it unattended, disable automatic sleep and plug in the charger; for anything time-sensitive, arrange a second alarm on another device.
