In the west of Sharjah is a picturesque lagoon Khalid - a favorite place for locals and visitors of the city. It is remarkable not only for its enchanting view of the lake of the same name. Here are located just two attractions of Sharjah - the Masjid Al-Takua Mosque and the singing fountain. Every day on the embankment a huge number of tourists gather to see a light and laser show arranged by fountains.
Characteristics of the Singing Fountain of Sharjah
This popular tourist attraction was installed in the late 70's. Literally, immediately the fountain of Sharjah has become a popular place among tourists and townspeople. This is not surprising, because it is considered one of the largest fountains in the Persian Gulf. At a width of 220 m, it is capable of producing a jet of water up to 100 m high. The Sharjah fountain is slightly lower than a similar structure in Dubai , but it is equipped with 3D projectors.
The performances of the Singing Fountain of Sharjah
Every day from 7 pm on the embankment begins a colorful light-music show, fascinating thousands of tourists. It repeats every 30 minutes and lasts until midnight. During this time the fountain of Sharjah has time to show the following performances:
- "Variety show";
- "Poetic show";
- "Heart rhythm of Sharjah";
- "Show for children";
- "The Ebru Show";
- "Home page of Sharjah" (Arabic);
- "The main show" (English).
Light and laser immerses viewers in a short but grandiose festival of oriental music, bright colors and dances of water. Each of them lasts about 15-20 minutes. The schedule of performances of the Sharjah fountain can vary depending on the time of prayers.
