King Fahad's Fountain, Water jet fountain on Corniche coast, Saudi Arabia.

The King Fahad's Fountain propels water to a height of 312 meters, creating a visible water column along the Jeddah coastline.

The fountain's construction began in 1980 and reached completion in 1983, marking a period of infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia.

The fountain's base design incorporates elements of a traditional mabkhara, an Arabian incense burner representing local heritage.

Visitors can observe the fountain from multiple viewing points along the Corniche waterfront between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM, Wednesday through Sunday.

The fountain system processes 624 tons of filtered seawater per minute through specialized pumps that generate water speeds of 375 kilometers per hour.
