The only way from the small fountain to Sheha is here. I have filmed wedding blessing videos here and watched the zombie parade on Halloween. Every year when snooker is played, the BBC will do a live show here. There is a table next to it, with two balls in each pocket. You are given a few shots to clear the table. If you clear the table, you will have the opportunity to compete with a famous snooker player.
