The contract of this fountain was given to a California based company-WET Design which designed it exquisitely at a cost of USD 218 million.  It is 275 m high that one can see it from 20 miles away. It is the brightest point illuminated on earth when seen from the sky that spot in the middle east. It was inaugurated on 26 October 2008. Testing of the fountain began in February 2009, and then was officially inaugurated on 8th May 2009 along with the official opening ceremony of the largest “Dubai Mall”. The length of this fountain was increased to 275 m after some time.

This large and unique fountain is illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors. This fountain can spray approximately 22,000 gallons of water in the air at a time and shoots up to 500 ft into the air accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music.

This Fountain contains many high-pressure water jets and shooters that shoots the water even under more pressure up to 240 feet in the air and some extreme shooters are also there that shoots the water under the most pressured up to 500 ft. Shooters create a loud “boom” noise after the water is ejected. The main or super shooters use least of time like on the special occasions as it takes a lot time to build up enough pressure and energy to shoot water to such a great height in the air.
