The centerpiece of this revitalised roundabout is a magnificent water fountain, now featuring a fresh and contemporary design.
The project is seen as a testament to the Municipality’s commitment to preserving the city’s rich history, while embracing modernity.
Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said the project, one of the most prominent engineering and architectural landmarks in Dubai, was completed on schedule.
“The project reflects Dubai Municipality’s commitment to transforming key landmarks and further enhancing the city’s attractiveness, cultural vitality and aesthetic ambience,” he said.
The construction of the Clock Tower Roundabout included various improvements, such as the renovation of floors, and the implementation of a new design for the water fountain that facilitates flexibility in controlling water levels and using multicoloured lighting.
The roundabout’s new lighting system includes mapping and three-dimensional formats, as well as photographic displays that can be used during national ceremonies and events.
