It was constructed between 1980 and 1983 and was launched in 1985.[2] Located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia, the fountain jets water to a maximum height, according to different sources, of either {{convert|853|ft|m|0|order=flip}}[3][4][5]or {{convert|1024|ft|m|0|order=flip|abbr=on}}[1] above the Red Sea. Whichever figure is considered the actual height for the fountain, it is the world's tallest. The second-tallest is the World Cup Fountain in Seoul, South Korea, with a water height of {{convert|663|ft|m|0|order=flip|abbr=on}}. The fountain is visible throughout the vicinity of Jeddah. The water ejected can reach a speed of {{convert|375|km/h|abbr=on}} and its airborne mass can exceed {{convert|18|ST|t|order=flip}}.[1] The fountain uses saltwater taken from the Red Sea instead of freshwater. Over 500 spotlights illuminate the fountain at night. See also
