I find it necessary to send out a correction regarding an earlier post. (This Post)
While doing research for my upcoming trips to Petra and Aqaba I discovered that the world's tallest free-standing flagpole is actually located in Aqaba, Jordan.
The prime contractor of the flagpole, Trident Support Corp., is responsible for erecting the world's 3 tallest free-standing flagpoles. The pole in Aqaba is 426 ft. (130 m) tall. The second tallest free-standing flagpole is the one in Amman (126 m) and the third is in Abu Dhabi (123.1 m).
The flagpole in Aqaba can be seen from 4 countries: Jordan, Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Here is a picture from Wikipedia.
I hope you will accept my apology.
