Flag Island in Sharjah has entered the Guinness World Records after raising the world’s largest flag as part of the nationwide Flag Day celebrations.

Measuring 70 metres long and 35 metres wide, the flag broke the Guinness World Record for the largest flag hoisted on a fixed flagpole.

Kholood Al Junaibi, Manager of Flag Island, said, "Since its inception, Flag Island has proudly been a venue that has the UAE flag as its central showpiece, with its aim being to inculcate the values of patriotism and loyalty to our much-loved country."
