Port Water Jet Fountain - World's Second Tallest Fountain

The KPT has constructed a fountain from its own resources after taking approval from government for the beach entertainment of people of Karachi while fulfilling the corporate social responsibility. It is second highest in the world, about 660 ft. Port fountain was made with an objective to beautify Karachi’s coastline and is clearly visible from Clifton beach.

Because the fountain rises so high into the air, it is quite easily seen from many locations of the city. Many high rise apartments, buildings and surroundings overlook the fountain throughout the community at the beach. The column of water can be seen from miles at sea. The fountain is located 1.4 km away from the beach to avoid spraying neighborhood homes. Maximum vapours travel up to a radius of 500 feet around the fountain. Eighteen flood lights of 400 watts illuminate the fountain at night.

On evening of 15th January 2006, people crowded the Clifton beach to witness the inauguration of the fountain with a grand display of fireworks and to see its stream of water which magically turns blue at night!
