Palm Fountain
The main element of the Pointe is The Palm Fountain, consisting of two parts located on both sides of the promenade.
The fountain is located in the open air, right in the waters of the Persian Gulf.
The fountain is capable of throwing jets of water to a height of up to 105 meters.
Every evening, when it gets dark, the fountain shows dancing light and music shows, during which the jets of the fountain are illuminated in different colors and “dance” to the music, creating compositions in which many water jets either gracefully bend or are thrown sharply upwards.
Fountains can be viewed from two sides - from the western and eastern parts of the promenade. More about the fountain and the show with photos and videos…
