Nakheel has revealed that it has awarded a contract worth $18 million for a spectacular, choreographed fountain at The Pointe to one of Chinas largest fountain specialists, Beijing Water Design.
The water display will be a major attraction at the new $218 million waterfront dining and entertainment destination on Dubais Palm Jumeirah.
Beijing Water Design will deliver and operate the fountain, which will cover a 12,000sqm area of water at the tip of the island, across the bay from Atlantis The Palm, said Nakheel
