Dubai Fountains

The Dubai Fountain show is the world's largest fountain show of its kind. It is located on the 12-hectare man-made Burj Lake outside the Dubai Mall on the Lower Ground Waterfront Promenade. The fountain was devised by the same team which created the Las Vegas fountains outside the Bellagio Hotel. The fountain cost approximately $218 million to create. The fountains are spread out in the lake covering 274 meters (900ft); they shoot up 152 meters (500ft) in the air which is as high as a 45-floor building. 6,600 lights are used to create the incredible effects with 25 colorful projected images and 83279 liters (22,000 gallons) of water in the air. The fountains "dance" to the sound of classical music, Arabic music and famous internationally loved tunes. Visitors can get an up-close view of the fountains by taking the Dubai Fountain Lake Ride on a traditional Abra. The Abra takes you on to the lake itself while the fountains perform. Otherwise you can watch the show for free from the Fountain Promenade and you can also see the show from as far away as 32km (20 miles) or from any high building in the area.
