Dubai acquires the record for the world’s largest fountain, as the Gulf city tries to boost its tourism sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Palm Fountain, which covers an area of 14,366 square feet, is located at The Pointe shopping and dining district on Palm Jumeirah, a man-made palm-shaped island.
“GWR is delighted to officially see The Palm Fountain breaking the title of the Largest fountain,” Senior Marketing Manager at Guinness World Records said. “This fountain is an example of another milestone in Dubai’s architectural achievements,” it said.

The new fountain has over 3,000 LED lights, 7,500 nozzles and can shoot water up to 105 metres, according to Guinness. Last month, British artist Sacha Jafri broke the record for the largest art canvas measuring 1,595 square metres, also in Dubai, Guinness said.
