The Dubai Fountain and the newly opened 12 million square foot - yes, you read that correctly - Dubai Mall will now join the emirate’s ranks of impressive landmarks. The fountain’s beam of light shining upward can be seen from over 20 miles away and is believed to be visible from space making it the "brightest spot" in the Middle East. Its powerful nozzles will shoot water sprays to the height of over 500 feet, equivalent to a 50-storey building.
Towering over 900 feet, the fountain is said to have a unique design made up of five circles of varying sizes and two arcs. Designed by California-based WET, the creators of the famous Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, the Dubai Fountain also has double the mass of nozzles, and uses a colour projection system that is by far the largest and most sophisticated in the world.
The Dubai aspires to be the fashion capital of the region and is an architectural marvel spanning 12 million square feet. Over 1,200 retail outlets can be accommodated in the mall, which currently hosts more than 900 stores.
The mall has two food courts, with over 160 food and beverage outlets, and a seating capacity of over 3,000. Fashion Avenue is a 440,000sqft fashion precinct dedicated to haute couture with over 70 signature global fashion brands. Besides a dedicated VIP entrance, it features its own dedicated Fashion Catwalk — the first of its kind with a mall in the region.
The Gold Souk is a sprawling gold and jewellery retail showcase with over 200 stores and lots of bling.

The Mall will also feature Dubai Aquarium and the Underwater Zoo, an Olympic-sized ice-rink and The Waterfall. Oh, and don't forget the largest cinema complex in Dubai.
Whew! And just when you think it can't get any bigger, taller or more grandiose...
