3 famous tourist spot in dubai
1. Dubai Fountain
The Dubai Fountains are a choreographed fountain system located on the 12 hectare
artificial Burj Khalifa Lake, at the center of the Downtown Dubai development in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates.
It was designed by WET Design, a California-based company also responsible for the
fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors,
it is 275 m (902 ft) long and shoots water up to 500 ft (152.4 m) into the air accompanied by a range
of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. It was built at a cost of AED 800 million
(USD $218 million).
The Dubai Fountain can spray 22,000 gallons (83,000 litres) of water in the air at any
moment. More than 6,600 lights and 25 colour projectors have been installed. The fountain contains
five circles of different sizes and two arcs. During the end of 2010, a new element was added to the
fountain, fire, which outlined the fountains. The fire was temporary for the 2011 New Years
celebration.
The Dubai Fountains project water in the air in many different combinations and patterns. The beam
of light from the fountain can be seen from over 20 miles away. The Dubai Fountain consists of many
high-pressure water jets created by WET, including Shooters, Oarsmen and water robots. The water
robots make the water seem to dance while the WET Shooters shoot water upwards; Super Shooters,
which shoot water under more pressure up to 73 m (240 feet) in the air, and Extreme shooters, which
can shoot water under the most pressure to 500 ft (152.4 m) in the air.
2. Dubai Miracle Garden
The Dubai Miracle Garden (in Arabic: ‫ )حديقة الزهور بدبي‬is a flower garden located in the district
of Dubailand, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The garden was launched on Valentine's Day in 2013.
It occupies over 72,000 square metres (780,000 sq ft), making it the world's largest natural
flower garden, featuring over 50 million flowers and 250 million plants.
In April 2015, the garden was given the Moselle Award for New Garden Experiences of the
year by the Garden Tourism Award 2015.
The first phase was completed and opened in February 2013 which consisted of 21,000 sq ft
(2,000 m2) outdoor facility including vertical and horizontal landscaping design where each of them
have their own design.[5] The development of phase one took two months and required 400 workers.
The second part of the project was initiated in mid-June 2013 and completed in October,
involving 70% expansion of the 21,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) and construction of the 850,000 sq ft
(79,000 m2) multistory car park, which increased the total area of the garden to 2 million sq ft
(190 thousand m2). It included the addition of the floral clock, the butterfly garden, retail stores and
mosques.
The flowers are maintained by re-use of treated wastewater through a drip
irrigation method[1] with an average amount of 757,082 litres (166,535 imperial gallons; 200,000 US
gallons) of water per day.
According to the officials of Dubai Miracle Garden, the Dubai municipality retreats the grey
water of the city and sends it directly to the garden. The garden again re-filters the water and
converts it to high-quality water for its usage in the garden. The garden is only watered after it closes
at night.
The Dubai Miracle garden has achieved three Guinness World Records. In 2013, it was
declared as the world's largest vertical garden.[13] Currently an Airbus A380 flower structure in the
garden is listed by Guinness World Records as the biggest flower structure in the world. The 18
meters (59 ft) topiary of Mickey Mouse, which weighs almost 35 tonnes, is the tallest topiary
supported sculpture in the world.[14]Miracle Garden has another record that is, The longest flower
wall in the world which is almost one kilometre long and is adorned with almost 22 million blooming
flowers.
3. Dubai Frame
The Dubai Frame (Arabic: ‫ )برواز دبي‬is an observatory, museum, and monument in Zabeel
Park, Dubai.[4] It holds the record for the largest frame in the world.The building has a height of
150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters. The building mainly serves as an observatory, providing
views of old Dubai in the north and newer parts in the south.
The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis through an architecture
competition by ThyssenKrupp and Dubai Municipality, and selected as the winner of a design
competition by an international jury. Donis has alleged that he had his intellectual property stolen and
was denied credit for the design. The final project was completed by Hyder Consulting, part of Arcadis
NV. It opened in January 2018.
The Dubai Frame is created out of glass, steel, aluminum, and reinforced concrete with
designs of the logo of Expo 2020 embedded on the outer facade. The Dubai Frame used the 'golden
rectangle' with the side ratios of 1:1.618.[19] It is positioned in such a way that representative
landmarks of modern Dubai can be seen on one side, while from the other side, visitors can also view
older parts of the city.
An observation deck spans the top of the frame, with glass-bottomed floors looking down
almost 150 meters onto the building's lower span. This space serves as a symbolic bridge between
past and present with the two towers connected by the glass bottomed top of the frame. The lower
span contains a museum showing the history of the city, and a video exhibit predicting the city's
future. Using special effects the museum creates a very visually-compelling experience taking you
from the nomadic fishing and pearl diving village of the past up to a projection of 50 years into the
future.
