Dubai Fountain is one of those few fountains in the world known for its spectacular dancing water show. Set in the 30-acres of scenic Burj Khalifa Lake, this beautiful fountain show is world’s largest choreographed fountain system. No wonder, it is one of the most popular attractions in Dubai! The fountain equipped with projectors, lights and pumps shoots 83,000 liters of water as high as 150 meters in the air. Illuminated lights and colored projectors beautifully complement the dancing and swirling fountains!
The Dubai fountains were designed by the same company that created the world-famous dance-to-music fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. However the Dubai Fountain includes many advanced features with some high pyrotechnic blasts, high-pressure water shoots resembling the shapes of firework displays and extraordinary swirls. When the fountains were opened in 2009 they included extreme shooters with the pressure capacity to 420 ft in the air, but those extreme shooters were disabled for energy conservation reasons. But don’t worry, the present day Dubai fountains only use super shooters with 240ft in the air capacity. so the show is still amazing!
The Dubai fountain show is accompanied by some regional and international music and some of the popular songs used in the fountain show are Andrea Bocelli s Con te partiro, Arabian dance number Shik Shak and the award-winning Swahili song. While the music plays you can see the fountain dancing on the music with more than 6000 illuminated lights and colorful projectors. You will see the bright beams of lights that make each stream of the dancing fountain look shiny, colorful and vibrant during the night.
