Special Features of Dubai Fountain
The lake is the home to the world’s largest system of choreographed fountains that covers an area as big as 30 acres. The fountain is animated to the rhythm of an amazing selection of music and 6600 lights with projections in 25 different colors. All this adds up to something beyond imagination! The music selection includes both traditional and world music with Arabic, Indian, American and Italian songs and poetry pieces on the repertoire.
Along with this, the fountain has the capability to spray 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any time. It creates various patterns as well as combinations in the air that is highly appreciated by the spectators. Dubai Fountain is a creation of California-based company WET, the one behind the fabulous Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas. The fountains shoot water up to 500 feet and are 275 meters long making a spectrum of over 1000 abstract attractions. The nozzle distribution of Dubai Fountain consists of five circles of different sizes placed along one large and one small arc. It is also visible under clear water from any nearby building in the daylight when the fountain is at rest.
Dancing with Rhythm
The repertoire is performed daily; in the afternoon and evenings as well. But the most stunning one is the evening show when a whole new world of lights and music comes alive. Air-filled with the sound of a traditional song and the lights and fountains dancing with the rhythm…just imagine the view from up above the sky. The show goes on for hours in the evening, so there is the least chance that you miss it.
Dubai Fountain can be viewed and enjoyed from the decks of all the neighboring high-rise buildings, especially the famous Burj Khalifah and Dubai Mall. But the most amazing view comes when you ride the traditional Abra and float through the colored waters of Burj Khalifah Lake taking an up-close view of this amazing creation… making you stunned at the view of dazzling fountains, lights and music
But where would you get the tickets?! No tickets required, that’s the best thing. You just have to reach the spot outside Dubai Mall or Burj Khalifah and find a suitable place where you can get a clear view of the show.
