AI-Driven Fountain & Glowing Sphere Is Coming To Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is about to welcome a dazzling new landmark and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting spots in the city. Mubadala has officially broken ground on the Al Maryah Waterfront enhancement project, a bold transformation of the island’s coastline into a chic leisure destination for residents and visitors alike.

And yes, it comes with a glowing 30-metre sphere, over 1,000 AI-powered water jets, and a musical score by none other than Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi.

What’s Coming To Al Maryah Waterfront?

At the centre of the action will be the luminous sphere, a giant orb that glows dramatically in the bay, surrounded by choreographed fountains shooting up to 75 metres high. Designed by WET, the creative geniuses behind the Dubai Fountain and the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, these AI-driven water jets will dance to light and music, creating a show that’s set to wow.

But that’s not all. The revamped waterfront will also feature:

  • A sea-level boardwalk perfect for sunset strolls.
  • Shaded cooling zones to beat the summer heat.
  • New foodie zones serving up delicious bites.
  • Flexible spaces for public events and gatherings.

With cool sea breezes, mesmerising water displays, and plenty of spots to relax and refuel, this project promises to deliver next-level vibes.

Why It Matters

Dr. Bakheet Al Katheeri, CEO of UAE Investments at Mubadala, calls the project “a strategic investment in the future of Al Maryah Island.” He adds:

“This project will deliver iconic elements that elevate the quality of life and offer a diverse experience for visitors, while reinforcing the island’s position as a premier lifestyle destination.”

When Can You Visit?

Construction is already underway, but no official opening date has been announced yet. When it’s complete, though, expect Al Maryah Waterfront to be one of Abu Dhabi’s most vibrant places to unwind, dine, and enjoy world-class water shows under the stars.

Until then, stay tuned... This glowing orb and its AI fountains are worth the wait.
