JEDDAH: In cooperation with Jeddah Municipality, ALJ Community Initiatives (ALJCI) has agreed to create the world's tallest and biggest flag in Saudi Arabia.

Jeddah Municipality has dedicated Tariq bin Ziyad roundabout (formerly Al-Sofon roundabout) to host the flag, taking into consideration the prominent location of this roundabout.

The flag will be the entry point for arrivals from Makkah, and the end of King Abdullah Street and the beginning of King Abdulaziz Street (Al-Andalus). The location is near strategic points in Jeddah, such as Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Jeddah Municipality and Jeddah central Corniche, which hosts the tallest fountain in the world.

Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, president of ALJCI, announced that ALJCI has suggested to Jeddah Municipality a year ago to gift the Kingdom the tallest and biggest flag in the world, as a gift from ALJCI on the return of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah from his treatment abroad.

Jameel said that ALJCI would be responsible for the costs of maintaining the flag for four years after planting. Hani Abu Ras, mayor of Jeddah, appreciated ALJCI for its initiatives, saying that this project will be an important landmark in Jeddah.

A year ago, ALJCI introduced the flag idea to the municipality. To choose the most appropriate company for implementing this project, ALJCI communicated with specialized leading international companies to submit their offers. The project will be equipped with an automatic system for raising the flag, advanced cameras, a system for measuring wind speed, in addition to lighting system for prominent annual occasions.

The flag will be 165 meters tall, and its area will be 2,000 square meters. A virtual film of the anticipated flag, which will be an important landmark of Jeddah, can be viewed at Abdullatif Jameel Community Initiatives | Saudi Flag.
