Hotelier Middle East Staff, November 15th, 2010

Dubai Marina Mall has unveiled a spectacular water tree, a first of its kind in the region.

At 7.5 metres (24 ft) high, the water tree at Dubai Marina Mall will continue through the winter months.

Essentially an intricate network of nozzles, jets and pipes, the water feature is set around a pool and creates the illusion of a structured tree, complemented by dancing lights.

Nasser Rafi, chief executive officer, Emaar Malls Group, said: “The water tree, envisaged as a winter attraction at the mall, builds on the fascination which Dubai residents and visitors have for innovative water features.

“It further adds to the appeal of the mall, which has already been established as a popular shopping and entertainment destination within Dubai Marina and the surrounding areas. The mall has over 120 retail outlets, along with a choice of popular restaurants, and the newly opened premium boutique six-screen Reel Cinemas cineplex, which greatly adds to the entertainment choice of visitors.”

Designed and executed by water engineering experts and designers from France, the water tree has an intricate network of bead like water jets. They spray the 30,000 litres of water in an 8mx8m pool, creating a stunning visual experience, as the water shimmers through dazzling light rays.
