And again we present the capital of the new wonders of the world - Dubai! This time we will write about a large fountain on Burj Khalifa artificial lake in central Dubai. It was designed by the company "Wet" which also designed the fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. It is illuminated by 6600 lamps and reflectors and 25 color projectors. The fountain is 902 feet long and it ejects water to a height of 492 feet. It is interesting that you can also listen to music while looking at the fountain as it plays everything from classical and contemporary Arab music to the modern world known song. Cost of its construction was a whopping 218 million dollars.
The fountain was first tested on February 2009, and it was officially opened on 8th May 2009 together with the Dubai Shopping Mall. On 2nd January 2010, the fountain was upgraded and now the ejected water can reach impressive 902 feet! Here are some pictures of the wonder as well as a video clip ... Enjoy!
