Leading Dubai developer Nakheel said The Palm Fountain at its premier lifestyle and dining destination, The Pointe, has won the Guinness record for the world’s largest fountain after a breathtaking launch streamed live across the world late last month.
The Palm Fountain is spread over 14,000 sq ft of sea water and is the only multi-coloured fountain in the city. Its super shooter stands tall at 105 m and comes alive with over 3,000 LED lights.
Shaddy Gaad, the senior marketing manager (Mena) for Guinness World Records, said: “We are delighted to officially see The Palm Fountain breaking the title of the largest fountain. This fountain is an example of another milestone in Dubai’s architectural achievements and we are excited to declare it officially Amazing.”
Nakheel Mall Managing Director Omar Khoory said: “Nakheel Malls is proud to launch The Palm Fountain, a celebration of Dubai’s resilience and building on the expanding portfolio of iconic attractions on Palm Jumeirah.”
“The launch of The Palm Fountain is a testament to our commitment to support retailers and push boundaries to provide our customers with unique experiences.”
The Palm Fountain will have 20 bespoke shows with five different shows running daily between sunset to midnight (7pm to 12am) while swaying to an array of popular songs including Khaleeji, pop, classic, international and more. Each show will last for three minutes and will be performed every 30 minutes.
Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment CEO Ahmed Al Khaja said: “The Palm Fountain is yet another incredible addition to Dubai’s list of world-famous landmarks and is sure to be a big draw among residents and visitors alike.”
“Its launch further cements the city’s status as a must-visit destination where guests from around the world can experience the best sights and sounds as well as unrivalled retail and tourist spaces. The Pointe’s standing as one of Dubai’s premier dining and leisure destinations has been further elevated with the unveiling of this record-breaking new attraction,” he added.
