Dubai Fountain is a giant water show that shoots water at very high speed, lighting up the night sky with music and colorful lights. It is completely free to watch. It is a must-visit for tourists in Dubai.
The concept for the Dubai Fountain came from the desire to add something special to Dubai's impressiveBurj Khalifaview. The Dubai Fountain was inspired by the famous fountain in Las Vegas, United States of America. The construction of the Dubai Fountain started in 2008 and was completed just one year later.
The size of the Dubai Fountain is very large, approximately the size of two football fields from end to end, spanning almost over 900 feet. The water shoots to a height of 500 feet. The Dubai Fountain lights are very expensive, with millions of lightbulb colors (powered by 1.5 million lumens), 6,600 lights, and colorful projectors to make the water very colorful and shining. The water required to fill a swimming pool is 22,000 gallons.
The best part of the Dubai Fountain is that the water doesn't just jump around; the water jets dance to all kinds of music, from classical to fun Arabic tunes. The songs combined with the water jet dance make the show very exciting.
The Dubai Fountain is located on a big lake next to the Burj Khalifa. Walking the path to visit Burj Khalifa, you can clearly see the Dubai Fountain with theBurj Khalifaview at the same time. Dubai Fountain music, water jet dance, colorful fountain lights, andBurj Khalifalighting show all these views in one place.
