World’s Largest Fountain Building In Dubai, originally uploaded by sujathafan.

Last month, Emaar Properties unveiled a world-class permanent water fountain project with an integral light and sound show for Downtown Burj Dubai.

It will be the world’s largest fountain at over 900 ft (275 metres) in length, equivalent to that of over two football fields. It is about 25 per cent larger than The Fountains at Bellagio in Las Vegas in area. Powerful water nozzles will shoot water sprays to heights of over 500 ft (150 metres), equivalent to that of a 50-story building.

The fountains – which are yet to be named – will feature over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors that will create a vibrant visual spectrum of over 1,000 different water expressions by shooting 22,000 gallons of water.

The total cost to built this is AED 800 million (US$218 million)! This project is expected to draw over 10 million visitors annually.

These fountains are yet to be named, and a cash prize of $27,225 will be given to the person who suggests the perfect name for this water fountain project. So hurry Up and send your nominations for the name.

This fountain project is scheduled to be operational in 2009!
