Admire Jeddah Flagpole, which, as the name suggests, has since 2014 held the world record for the world’s tallest flagpole. A flag of Saudi Arabia sits perched on top of the gargantuan, 170 m (558 ft) tall steel pole, which weighs 500 tons and towers over King Abdullah Square. Equally impressive, the massive flag boasts almost 50 m (162 ft) in length and weighs a reported 570 kg (1,260 lb).

    If you get lucky, you would see the flag from far away and if the breeze is enough it will be displayed in full.  more »

    How can this be a tourist attraction if it (repeatedly) doesn’t live up to its name. Kids were, however, wowed by the height of the pole.  more »
