Jeddah Flagpole, Monumental flagpole in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

The Jeddah Flagpole is a towering steel structure that rises 171 meters above the surrounding area, flying the Saudi Arabian flag from its apex. The site features landscaped grounds and is located along the North Corniche waterfront.

The structure was completed and unveiled on September 23, 2014, during the kingdom's National Day celebrations. It held the title of world's tallest flagpole until 2021, when another monument claimed the record.

The square's landscaping traces the kingdom's emblem: two swords and a palm tree, with the sword about 75 metres long and the palm 85 metres. Thirteen lights around the pole stand for the thirteen governorates. The older wooden flagpole found during a historic-district survey was restored and placed in the courtyard of Nasseef House, the first house King Abdulaziz stayed in on arriving in Jeddah.

The flagpole stands at the centre of King Abdullah Square, a 26,000-square-metre park beside Jeddah's North Corniche. The 13 lights around the base mark the kingdom's 13 governorates, so the pole is easy to locate from the waterfront road. The square is also known as Custodian of Two Holy Mosques Square.

The flagpole's cylindrical steel shaft is hollow enough for maintenance crews to climb to the top, and it houses a wind-direction unit that turns the 570-kilogram flag, plus instruments measuring wind speed, humidity and rain intensity, and a warning light for aircraft.
