Dubai is no stranger to breaking world records, one of the most notable being home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
Now, in another architectural win for the emirate, Dubai has broken another world record for the world’s largest fountain.
The new fountain located at The Pointe on the Palm – which spans over an area of 14,366 square feet – officially opened over the weekend, putting on a spectacular show.
It was officially confirmed by a representative from Guinness World Records that the fountain is now the largest around the globe.

“GWR is delighted to officially see The Palm Fountain breaking the title of the Largest fountain,” Shaddy Gaad, Senior Marketing Manager for the organisation said.
“This fountain is an example of another milestone in Dubai’s architectural achievements.”
Many gathered for a socially distanced opening of the fountain, which has over 3,000 LED lights, 7,500 nozzles and can shoot water up to an impressive 105 metres.
