The Great Arab Revolt Flagpole

The Great Arab Revolt Flagpole: the 130-metre banner over Aqaba's waterfront.

The Great Arab Revolt Flagpole rises 130 metres over Aqaba's waterfront, flying the huge flag of the revolt that liberated the city in 1917 — one of the tallest flagpoles in the world, visible from four countries.

It is the city's meeting point at dusk. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pass it between beach and fort, and full package tours to Jordan include the waterfront stroll.
