The fountain was donated to the city of Jeddah by King
Fahd. It was constructed between 1980 and 1983 and was launched in 1985. It is located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. It is the tallest water fountain in the world. The fountain is visible throughout the vicinity of Jeddah. The water ejected can reach a speed of 375 km/h . The fountain uses saltwater taken from the Red Sea instead of freshwater. Over 500 spotlights illuminate the fountain at night.I fell happy to see the fountain at night.
