It's not often that you see such an impressive waterfall while shopping at a mall, but this is Dubai, everything is possible here! The waterfall with installations by divers symbolizes the once main craft of the Emirates in the "pre-oil" era – pearl mining. Pearls made a lot of profit in those years, so the waterfall is a symbol of well-being and prosperity. The waterfall is simply huge in size, it occupies 3 floors! It looks incredibly spectacular! Along with the aquarium, it is the hallmark of Dubai Mall. You can't miss this place and not enjoy its beauty and scope firsthand!

The symbol of the Dubai Mall, and of the city as a whole, is a waterfall with figures of pearl divers. The structure is very impressive, waterfalls permeate the Dubai Mall through all four floors. Their height reaches 24 meters. This is a tribute to the hard and sometimes deadly work of pearl fishermen, because before oil production, it was one of the main occupations of the local population. But there is also a piquant moment: fixing the figures to the waterfall. The rod on which the little men are holding is located just at the level where hmmm is located..... If this is some kind of hidden idea of the architects, I do not know.

The symbol of Dubai Mall is a waterfall with figures of pearl divers. The building is very impressive. There are two waterfalls with divers in the shopping center, but they are absolutely identical, so it's enough to see one of them. The structure is made in the form of a huge cylinder with a diameter of 30 meters. Waterfalls permeate the Dubai Mall through all four floors. Their height reaches 24 meters. Waterfalls appeared in the mall a year after its opening. The main thing that catches the eye is the figures of divers made of fiberglass. They were created according to a special idea and have their own history. Up until the 6th century, the indigenous Arabs lived in the desert, so they could only dream of water. The figures on the waterfall dive for pearls, which also carries a hidden meaning. Previously, the UAE had not been engaged in oil production. The locals could not support themselves by farming, as the soil did not yield crops. The Arabs ate mainly fish and camel meat. Pearl mining was the main source of income in the Emirates in those years. The divers at the Dubai Mall Waterfall symbolize the country's history. Each waterfall is surrounded by palm trees, resembling an oasis. For Arabs, the oasis is invariably associated with well-being.
