Fed by saltwater from the Red Sea, King's Fountain represents one of the tallest fountains in the world, shooting into the sky a single plume of water. Visible across Jeddah, the fountain was completed in 1985, donated to the city by King Fahd. The iconic landmark is visible from many vantage points, but remains most impressive when viewed from the shoreline. Head to the water's edge and see the sheer force of the single fountain jet, lit up as the sun goes down for that picture-perfect moment.

Let’s have a look at some of the categories we can make a comparison on.

So, I think you guys have realized that both cities are pretty great in their own separate sense. One city has more of something than the other but it compensates in other categories.

It’s up to us to appreciate both sentiments and find the good in everything even if it sometimes may be hard to do.

Now the question is: what do you guys think? Are there any categories we’re missing out on? Do you agree with what we stated? Comment and let us know!

Parking in places defined for persons with special needs while you are not from the category.
