Take a Virtual Tour of the Grand Dubai Mall
The sundecks on Dubai’s beaches lie empty as efforts to keep the Emirate protected against Covid-19 prevent people from going out and about. However, due to technological innovation, you can take virtual tours of the various sights of Dubai Mall. This works great by itself and even better with a VR headset. You can see the chic garments of the fashion avenue, walk through the underwater zoo, visit dino park or even take a peek outside, all from the comfort of your home!
The Dubai Fountain
Virtually visit the world’s largest dancing fountain, which tangos to the tunes of classical, Arabic and world music. Made up of more than 1.5 million lumens of projected light, it can spray water up to a whopping 500 feet, able to keep 22,000 gallons of water airborne. Set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake grounds, the fountain is 900 ft (275 metres) long and comprises five circles of varying sizes and two central arcs. The fountain was created by the same people who worked on the ones at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. The Dubai Fountain performs daily, with songs like Baba Yetu, Shik Shak Shok and Con te partiro (Time to Say Goodbye). The beam of light shining upward from the fountain can be seen from over 20 miles away and is visible from space making it one of the brightest spots in the Middle East.
