The fountain has the beam of light which can be seen even at a distance of over 20 miles away.

The Dubai fountain comprises of five circles that are designed with varied sizes spreading across two acres. The lights shine at their full glory as the music plays and leaves the fountains swaying to its melodies. The Dubai Fountain is a complete charm that leaves every visitor bewildered with the creation. The fountain was designed by Wet Design, a California based company in the year 2009. The fountains also show some lively animations during the dance performance which certainly is a breathtaking view for every tourist.
