The flag of the أمانة(English: Jeddah) جدة (English: Municipality, or
Governorate) is seen here (third flag from left to right). It features the logo
(https://upload.wikimedia.org)
over a white horizontal background. The written inscription in Arabic on top
stands for "Municipality" (Governorate) and the inscription on bottom stands for
"Jeddah".
It is also worth mentioning that, according to the Guinness
Book of World Records (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/tallest-unsupported-flagpole
and
http://saudibuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Guinness_Flagpole_in_jeddah.jpg),
the city features the tallest unsupported flagpole in the world since its
construction, standing at 171 m tall, erected on September 23, 2014. It flies a
Saudi Arabia flag, 49.5 metres (162 ft) by 33 metres (108 ft) and weighing 570
kilograms (1,260 lb) (which could also be the heaviest flag in the world). It is
located in King Abdullah Square. The cylindrical flagpole was built of 500 tons
of steel by the Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiative and Al-Babtain Power &
Telecom Co.
