what was the altitude when the plane was flying over the fountain?

[soquan]

Most of the time, the controllers would bring aircraft down to 2000 ft and clear them to intercept the localizer. And in this particular flight, the fountain was west of the aircraft, so never over flew it.

Wow sounds like it was a busy night. Was this during the Hajj season?

[soquan]

No just a busy night in Jeddah.

@silvereagle2061 you can see it from the city center actually look at the wikipedia article:

King Fahd's Fountain

[silvereagle2061]

Huge fountain. How high is that shooting up. Looks to be about 2.000 ft
