The $281 million Dubai Fountain is the biggest one in the world. It will be even larger than the famous fountains at the Bellagio, Las Vegas.
At 825 feet long, the yet unnamed fountain will be 25% larger than the Bellagio fountain. The fountain will be powered by pumps capable of shooting columns of water approximately 450 or so feet into the dry Middle Eastern air. A light and sound show produced by a network of 6,600 lights and 50 projectors will also illuminate the burgeoning Dubai skyline at night. About 22,000 gallons of water are expected to cycle through the fountain at any given time when it is completed in 2009.
