King Fahd's Fountain, also known as Jeddah Fountain, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and holds the distinction of being the tallest fountain in the world. Located along the Jeddah Corniche and facing the Red Sea, this breathtaking fountain has become a symbol of the city and a must-see attraction for visitors and locals alike.
The fountain was built in 1980 in honor of King Fahd (the King of Saudi Arabia from 1982 to 2005) and is a striking engineering feat. It is powered by pumps that shoot water up to an impressive height of 260 meters (850 feet), making it the tallest water fountain in the world. The fountain is illuminated at night with thousands of lights, creating a spectacular visual display that can be seen from miles around, particularly from the sea or nearby areas.
King Fahd's Fountain is fed by seawater from the Red Sea, which is pumped up through the system and released in the form of a powerful jet of water. The fountain’s design is simple yet dramatic, with a single water column rising high into the sky. It has become a symbol of Jeddah’s modernity, ingenuity, and the city’s connection to the Red Sea. It is particularly impressive in the evening, when the lights highlight the water’s movement, creating a beautiful and dynamic display.
The fountain is located near several popular recreational spots along the Corniche, offering visitors an excellent location for evening walks, family outings, and sightseeing. The surrounding area includes parks, restaurants, and cafes where people can enjoy the view of the fountain while relaxing in the pleasant coastal atmosphere.
In addition to its beauty and symbolism, King Fahd's Fountain is often used for public events, celebrations, and cultural gatherings. It is an integral part of the Jeddah skyline and has become a symbol of the city’s role as a modern, bustling port city with a rich cultural heritage.
