They talked in te 80's of building the world's biggest fountain in the bay but decided that the water just wasn't deep enough.

The location would have offered aircraft landing from the bay end of the runway a free "jet wash".

We also understood that, had it been viable, the volume of water coming down would have more than likely sunk any dhows passing underneath.

The project of fixing a huge Fountain there came up during the Asian Games. Nothing has been done untill now. I felt that authorities removed the trees & building there to give a better view of SKY SCRAPERS from the other side of Chorniche.

Happy to hear abt the new project.

For some reason I have it my head that there was talk about building a big observation tower on it. I can even see the artist's impression in my head. Perhaps I saw it when there was all that stuff about future plans for Doha on the Corniche by Orry a few months ago. Or perhaps I just dreamt it. Good idea either way.

Could the development of Palm Tree island be related to the Olympic Bid in 2016? Maaybe the gov is waiting to put the final touches on the island to secure their winning of the bid.
