About this audio guide
This guide to The Palm Fountain in Dubai looks out at the calm water off The Pointe and tells the story of the fountain that briefly rose there in October 2020, breaking the Guinness World Record for the world's largest fountain. It runs through the engineering behind it, the LED lights and water cannons choreographed to an original score by Emirati musician Ihab Darwish, and the record it took from Dubai's own Downtown fountain. It's easiest to picture the scale standing right where the water once rose, with Atlantis glittering on the horizon behind it.
