The Largest Palestinian Flag

Palestinians and Syrians work to complete the largest Palestinian national flag prior to its display in the Syrian capital Damascus on 23 May 2008. When the flag went on display, numerous Palestinians attended the event.

The flag, which is 232m in length, 116m in width and an area of 27 thousand square meter, was completed by a group of Palestinian and Syrian volunteers under the slogan 'A larger flag for a more precious land' on the occasion of the 60 anniversary for the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe).

The main idea is to achieve the largest Palestinian flag, and the largest flag in the world.

There was a news report that the organizers had said, they have yet to contact the Guinness World Records for official confirmation if this is the world’s largest flag. Currently, the largest flag in the Guinness World Records is an Israeli flag. The flag took two months to complete by dozens of volunteers.
