Whether you’ve been tracking every step\u00a0of the\u00a0AED 2 billion\u00a0project or not, you should know that the Dubai Water Canal is now officially open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We showed you\u00a0videos of\u00a0water being filled in<\/a>\u00a0and even the\u00a0testing of the waterfall<\/a>\u00a0on Sheikh Zayed Road…but today it’s\u00a0all about the\u00a0big opening – we’ve tried to capture as much of it as possible.<\/p>\n

Here’s to another great achievement…hip hip hooray!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The buzz before the opening<\/h3>\n
