King Fahd's Fountain, Water fountain in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
The King Fahd's Fountain propels water from the Red Sea to a height of 312 meters through specialized pumps and engineering systems.
The fountain, constructed between 1980 and 1983, represents a period of rapid infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia under King Fahd's leadership.
This fountain stands as a central meeting point for Jeddah residents during national celebrations and evening gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can observe the fountain's water display from several viewing points along the Corniche, with optimal visibility during evening hours.
Three water jets combine to create the main stream, using seawater that reaches higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
