King Fahd's Fountain

Hi, everybody! Today we' ll talk about the next miracle of the world - about the world's tallest King Fahd's Fountain.

King Fahd's Fountain, also known as the Jeddah Fountain, is the tallest of its type of fountain in the world. Located in the coast of Jeddah, west coast of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The fountain jets water 1,024 feet (312 m) above the Red Sea. It was donated to the city of Jeddah by King Fahd, hence its name. The water it ejects can reach a speed of 375 kilometers. 



It was constructed between 1980 and 1983 and began operating in 1985. The fountain uses saltwater taken from the Red Sea instead of freshwater. It uses over 500 spotlights to illuminate the fountain at night.

I guess it's unforgettable to see this fountain in reality!
