The tallest fountain in the world is the Jeddah Fountain in Saudi Arabia, with a water column height of 312 meters; the second highest fountain in the world is the World Cup Fountain in South Korea, with a water column height of 202 meters; and the Dubai Musical Fountain is the highest in the world. Ranked only third on the list, the water column is only 150 meters high!
The Jeddah Fountain was built from 1980 to 1983 and put into use in 1985. Its full name is King Fahd Fountain. It is a very special fountain. It is not in the palace or the square, but It is built in the sea.
This is because King Fahd likes the sea, so the palace in Jeddah is the "Peace Palace" built on the seaside. After the Peace Palace was built, the designer wanted to make the "Peace Palace" and the sea become In an integrated building, the fountain in the palace was built into the sea, and a seawater fountain was built in the sea.
The Jeddah Fountain is an internationally recognized architectural masterpiece and has now become a symbol of Jeddah. It sprays water up to 312 meters high, making it the highest fountain in the world. The fountain uses salty seawater from the Red Sea. , instead of fresh water, the water can reach 375 kilometers per hour. The Jeddah Fountain was donated by King Fahd to the Port of Jeddah. It can be seen throughout the city. The water column of the fountain rushes into the sky, then slowly falls down and merges into the sea.
Blowed by the gentle Red Sea breeze, the Jeddah Fountain in the distance hangs in the sky like a bead curtain. Visitors stop here and are reluctant to leave for a long time, admiring the infinite creativity of mankind. At night, 500 spotlights are used to highlight the Jeddah Fountain, making the fountain more charming and colorful.
Accompanied by several Arabic songs and songs from around the world, the spraying water jets seemed to be dancing elegantly in front of people. Each performance used different music and choreographed different dance postures.
The musical fountain performs every half hour from 6 pm to 10 pm on weekdays, with each performance lasting 3-5 minutes. On weekends, it performs from 6 pm to 11 pm and at 9 pm Later, the performance was increased to every 20 minutes. I heard that the musical fountain show not only has music and dance, but also fireworks, which is really beautiful.
