While we complain as soon as it rains for an hour, imagine a street where water flows… all the time. Those who cross it do not shy away from their pleasure.
Enemies of heat, here is a corner for you! 5,400 kilometers from Paris, if you go to this country for the holidays and the sun begins to beat you down, we have found a refreshing area since it receives water 7 days a week, all year round! A unique meteorological whim? No, rather the crazy promise of promoter Kleindienst…
It is therefore within the complex The Heart of Europemade up of six small islands accessible by boat – which total 16 hotels, 4000 accommodations and around fifty attractions -, that there is a not ordinary street planned over a kilometer long called the “raining street” (understand, the street of rain). This street was designed to provide artificial rain all year round, with the aim of maintaining a pleasant temperature of 27°C even in the middle of summer, where outside temperatures can exceed the 40°C…
This technological feat is made possible by a system hidden in the buildings, which releases cold water in the form of rain as soon as the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. The idea is to imitate a European climate and offer a refreshing experience to visitors, while creating a European street atmosphere with cafes, shops, and restaurants…
It’s off the coast, in Dubai, that you can cross this rainy street but which will offer you a little coolness when the heat becomes too much to bear. To do this, you will either need to stay at Cote d’Azur Monaco Hotel and then benefit from this attraction for free or go for the day to the establishment’s small island and pay a little more than 80 dollars.
Faced with this invention, the ecological question inevitably arises… The promoter behind the project has thought of everything since it is thanks to solar energy that the attraction operates and should therefore not produce any CO2 emissions. The next step? Make snow fall!
