In the evening, the famous fountain operates next to the tall building, the Burj Khalifa. Once every half hour, the show begins, which lasts an average of seven minutes, during which the water soars to a tremendous height, and in combination with the animated show projected on the building – a spectacular show is obtained that makes hotels in Las Vegas look like an amateur imitation. Watching the show is free, although it is possible to pay extra to watch it up close. Despite the overcrowding in the place there is no need to pay extra.
The framework of Dubai
It is a huge frame-like building of an image that rises to a height of 150 meters and a wind of 90 meters that actually allows observation and connection between old Dubai and its new part. It contains 50 floors and is built of two huge pillars and a bridge connecting them. The entire building is gold-plated, and was built at a cost of nearly $ 50 million.
