The world's tallest fountain, projecting Red Sea water 312 metres into the air from a pool off the central Corniche. The fountain has been running, on and off, since 1985 — a gift to the city from King Fahd — and the column of white spray is visible from every part of central Jeddah.
The fountain runs every night from sunset to around midnight, and the best vantage point is the Hassan Enany Mosque viewpoint or any of the corniche restaurants south of it. There is no entrance fee — you watch from outside.
