Emaar has unveiled a world-class water, light and music spectacle in the 30-acre Burj Dubai Lake within Downtown Burj Dubai. Located near Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, and The Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping and entertainment destinations, the fountain assures a vibrant musical and visual experience.
Following a competition, the fountain was named 'Dubai Fountain', reflecting the rising prominence of Dubai as a global destination and as Emaar's fitting tribute to the city.
At over 900 ft (275 metres) in length – equivalent to that of over two football fields – Dubai Fountain is about 25 per cent larger than The Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas in area. Powerful water nozzles shoot water sprays to heights of over 500 ft (150 metres) – equivalent to that of a 50-storey building.
Over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors create a visual spectrum of over 1,000 different water expressions that will appeal to visitors. Different combinations of water-forms of Dubai Fountain perform to selected musical pieces – chosen from a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music.
Dubai Fountain, when operational in all its glory, will have over 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any given moment. Its nozzles will take water to different heights – from 70 to 500 ft. The 50 colour projectors provide the full spectrum of colour with a total output of 1.5 million lumens.
