The Dubai Fountain is one of the largest in the world. Its set right in front of the Burj Dubai, which is the tallest man-made tower ever built. The tower is actually set to open in January 2010. The Dubai fountain is about the length of two football fields. For those of you who have seen the Fountains of Bellagio at Las Vegas, the Dubai Fountain is of similar grand scale, but apparently 25 % larger. The Dubai fountain can be seen from over 200 miles away up in space!
There are a total of 14 performances every day. It starts at 6:00pm and goes every half hour until 8:00pm. Then, after 8:00pm, the shows are every 20 minutes until 11:00pm. Here is a video of the fountain performance to "Time to Say Goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman. Other performances are to some Hindi and Arabic songs. Tons of people gather all around the fountains every night - it really is exciting everytime you see it! My video was taking forever to download, but check out the one above, its even better!
