Abu Dhabi Folklore Village [1] Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is itself built on an artificial island, where there is a landmark object - a flagpole as high as 200 meters, which is also known as the highest flagpole in the world. It is reported that the flagpole is more than 200 meters high, and the flag on it is 40 meters long and 20 meters wide. The total area of the flagpole is 800 square meters, which is equivalent to a small half of the football field. Although it doesn't look very big, it's because it's too tall!
