A monumental waste of energy from a country that exports nothing but oil and terrorism.
Good luck

Hmm, I thought that Fountain Hills, AZ was still holding the hight record! Checked on it and proved that I was mistaken!

Thats really cool! It would destroy a vehicle if it drove over it, must be an insane amount of force!

well i guess because it’s a big deal for a gulf country,besides KSA brags about it all the time , for one thats a reason i thought you would have heard of it before.

Yeah Sal, what a fucking waste of space KSA is.

Considering the fact that I am Jaddawiyah.. why wouldn’t we brag about it’? I mean come on for god’s sake isn’t Dubai bragging about building the tallest in the world, the USA with the statue of liberty. praise with l’effile tower… It’s actually a very nice monument, and nice site :)

Lulu…. don’t you think Jeddah deserves a functioning sewage system before wasting untold millions on a fountain that was only built just so Prince Majed – or whoever it was at the time – doesn’t miss the view of the fountain in Lake Geneva?!

Zaydone..I completly agree..it was during King Fahd’s time…most of the gulf countries care about the visual apperance. Sadly, solving problems from the core are subsedery. I can tell u it should be solved soon but would lying to myself.. It all depends on who is side pocketing and for how how long..baldiya is the worst :s but it’s still a pretty site
