PHOTOS: DHL hosts spectacular Dubai Fountain light show

The global logistics company premiered an eye-catching light show in Downtown Dubai on 20th October 2011, which was choreographed in dramatic style to a specially reworked version of the Motown classic ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’.

Dubai Fountain: A splash of notes

As the world’s largest performing fountain, the Dubai Fountain in Downtown Dubai has attracted over 47 million visitors since its launch in May 2009. The main control room of the Dubai Fountain is located on the top level of neighbouring Dubai Mall.

Room service is an ‘afterthought’

Furthermore, Jean-Luc Morcellet, executive chef of The Palace – The Old Town hotel in Dubai warned “If you are too expensive the guests will go shopping. Or they will even order in takeaway.”

The classical music market is just one example. Baba Yetu is also featured in the Dubai Fountain, a giant interactive display that gets millions of visitors every year. “It’s created a lot of exposure for the game.”

Fountains of Bellagio continue to amaze visitors

A crowd of people gathers at the Bellagio lake’s edge, watching as a spherical puff of white fog rises above the surface, dissipating quickly in the afternoon sun.

It’s only a routine test, a small demonstration of the way fog is created during the Fountains of Bellagio show.

A souq with a view

On the perimeter of the souq are an assortment of restaurants on two levels, most with outdoor seating and a view of the Dubai Fountain. It’s an exciting atmosphere which benefits from the pedestrian access to the mall boardwalk and hotels.
