Jeddah Fountain

Towering over Jeddah at — on a calm day — a mighty 312 meters (1,023.62 feet),

The plume is taller than the Eiffel Tower which is 300.51 meters (986 feet high. +/- 15cm depending on temperature)

The water leaves the 126mm nozzles at 42 bar (609.16 pounds per square inch) and at the incredible speed of 375 kph. The plume of water, when it hangs in the air for 15 seconds or so, weighs in excess of 18 tons (18,750 kg).


Jeddah (also spelled Jedda, Jiddah, Jidda, or Juddah; جدّة Ǧiddah), a Saudi Arabian city located on the coast of the Red Sea (21.50° N 39.1667° E), is the major urban center in western Saudi Arabia, the largest in the Western Province, and the second largest city in Saudi Arabia after the capital city Riyadh. The population of the city currently stands at over 3.4 million.

Jeddah is considered as the commercial capital of Saudi Arabia and the wealthiest city in the Middle East and western Asia.

Jeddah is the principal gateway to Mecca, the holiest city of Islam, which able-bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in a lifetime.

I will be uploading more Jeddah photos soon!
