Even though it takes a while to load this video (with an internet connection in South Africa), its well worth it!!

I posted about the “Dubai Magic“ in 2008, when this fountain was only a concept design. This week someone posted the Youtube link on Twitter, and I finally saw the end result!! How breathtakingly awesome is this? Even more amazing than the pictures in the design.Â I just can’t believe that I only saw this for the first time this week!

This fountain was built at a cost of US$217 million, this record-setting system was designed by WET Design, the California-based company responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 50 coloured projectors, it is 275 m (902 ft) long and shoots water 150 m (490 ft) into the air, accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. On 26 October 2008 Emaar announced that based on results of a naming contest the fountain would be called the Dubai Fountain.

I LOVE good packaging designs, and Kleenex fruity tissue box design is an excellent example of brilliant design.

I’d love to have one of these, pity I haven’t seen them in the shops yet! Aren’t they cute?

Dubai Magic

Dizzy Dee — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:59:25 +0000

If you’re looking for a vacation destination for 2009, you might just have stumbled across it now… Dubai is yet again astonishing the world with their creativity.

The fountains, which has yet to be named, will be capable of shooting water over 150 metres into the air – the height of a 50-storey building – and stretch over 275 metres – the length of two football fields.

The $218 million project will be 25 percent larger than the iconic fountains at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas

Like the Fountains of Bellagio, Emaar’s fountains will include an integral light and sound show and is expected to become one of Dubai’s major tourist attractions, drawing over 10 million visitors per year.

The fountains will shoot 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any given moment and feature over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors.

The fountains have yet to be named and a cash prize of $27,225 has been assigned to the winner of a competition to name the water feature

The structure is scheduled to be operational by 2009
