King Fahd Fountain, also known as the Jeddah Fountain, is one of Saudi Arabia’s most iconic landmarks and the tallest water fountain in the world. Recognized by the Guinness World Records, it soars to a height of over 312 meters (1,024 feet) — taller than many skyscrapers.
Located on the coast of the Red Sea, the fountain has become a defining symbol of Jeddah, visible from various points across the city. When illuminated at night, it transforms the skyline into a breathtaking spectacle as powerful streams of water shoot skyward, glowing with thousands of lights reflecting over the sea.
The fountain was a gift from King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may he rest in peace, to the city of Jeddah as a representation of generosity, prosperity, and beauty. Today, it stands as one of the most visited tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia — a perfect blend of natural scenery and modern engineering marvel.
