U.A.E Flag and Pole

I was extremely interested in this structure when I first came here, even from the 'Corniche' further south it remained huge in appearance. The dismountable pole was imported to Abu Dhabi through the use of aircraft transportation whilst the flag (L=30m,W=15m) was sewn by hundreds of people with special needs as described on the given web page.

Apart from the novelty of having the worlds largest and tallest flag in your home country, this landmark provides everyone with the most unique reference point regarding navigation solutions throughout this area, particularly a high number of temporary Abu Dhabi tourists who struggle to find their way from origin to destination and vice versa are benefitting from this astonishing yet familiar attraction.
