The Glass Water wall defines one of two pathways into the Al Wasl Garden, offering a unique sense of transparency, and an illusion of massive blocks of glacial ice in the desert.

Night Waterwall
- Al Wasl Central Plaza
Listen to what Simon Gardner, Director of North American business development, has to say about the Night Waterwall feature.
The Stone Water wall defines the second discovery pathway into the garden, offering a dynamic aesthetic to the space with a sense of solid texture and familiar, regional materials.
Sunset Fountain
- Al Wasl Central Plaza
The water feature consists of two elements. A shallow pool of water and aerated column of water. The reflective water skin is a simple and calm surface that reflects the grandeur of the space and the trellis structure. Vertical jets rise from the water surface to create an array of circular water forms and structures. These jets will frame the central water feature located in Al Wasl Plaza, creating a gateway and helping evoke travel and exploration into the garden.

Moonlight Fountain
- Al Wasl Central Plaza
Small bubbling water jets are located throughout the infinity edge pool. These small masses of water entice younger children and toddlers to play within the water feature. These small mounds of water generate subtle concentric rings and dynamic water patterns within the reflective surface. A range of sequenced LED pin lights will be incorporated throughout the water feature surface that will provide a twinkly star canvas during night
Al Wasl Gardens
Leadership Pavilion Fountain
- Al Wasl Gardens
Listen to what Simon Gardner, Director of North American business development, has to say about the Leadership Pavillion Fountain.
This fountain welcomes people as they enter into the space and entices visitors to explore the distinct architectural space created by the Pavilion, Pavilion façade and Canopy.
The water feature consists of two elements. An elevated water table that creates a shallow reflective surface. The reflective water skin is a simple and calm surface that reflects the grandeur of the space and the trellis structure. The second element is illuminated with LED lights that accent the façade of the Pavilion with caustic effects created by the movement of the water.
Al Wasl Avenue Fountain

During low pedestrian flow, the water feature activates 14 sequencing water jet arrays that are individually controlled to provide dynamic water expressions. The features are also illuminated with hi fidelity LED technology that enhance the overall water feature at night.
