喷射高度最高的人工喷泉

法赫德国王喷泉坐落于沙特阿拉伯吉达市西海岸的红海之滨，是全球喷射高度最高的人工喷泉。喷泉直接抽取红海海水作为水源，采用三级涡轮增压系统驱动，水柱喷射速度达每小时 375 公里，最大垂直喷射高度达 312 米，相当于百层建筑的高度。喷泉底座设计灵感源自阿拉伯传统香炉造型，夜间配备 500 余盏聚光灯与彩色投影设备，灯光效果在 20 英里范围内清晰可见，下落的水雾可呈现上百种光影变化，是吉达最具辨识度的城市地标。项目始建于 1980 年，1985 年正式落成启用，由法赫德国王赠予吉达市，因此得名。该喷泉被洛仑斯世界纪录收录为 “喷射高度最高的人工喷泉”。

King Fahd’s Fountain, located on the Red Sea coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is the man-made fountain with the highest jet height in the world. Drawing water directly from the Red Sea, it is powered by a three-stage turbine pressurization system, with a water jet speed of 375 kilometers per hour and a maximum vertical spray height of 312 meters, equivalent to the height of a 100-story building. The base of the fountain is inspired by the shape of traditional Arabian incense burners. At night, it is equipped with over 500 spotlights and color projection devices, with lighting effects visible within a 20-mile radius. The falling water mist presents hundreds of light and shadow variations, making it the most recognizable urban landmark of Jeddah. Construction began in 1980 and it was officially inaugurated in 1985, donated to the city of Jeddah by King Fahd, hence its name. This fountain has been officially listed by LAWRENCE WORLD RECORDS CERTIFICATION as the “Man-Made Fountain with the Highest Jet Height”.
