PICTURES: Dubai to introduce record-breaking fountain that will shoot a jet of water higher than a 50-storey building

tallest_fountain_1.jpg To add some more attraction to the world's tallest building 'Burj Dubai' engineers in Dubai are busy working world's tallest fountain that will shoot a jet of water as high as 50 storey high.

"Due to be completed in 2009, the fountain will propel 22,000 gallons of water 490ft into the air at any one time. The spectacular feature will draw water from a man-made lake the size of two football pitches in length. More than 6,600 lights will 'perform' selected musical pieces in time with the jets of water on the 30-acre lake."
