Missing flag ...

As we drove past this square, our driver explained that the flag was taken down to have more material added to make it the largest flag in the region, as a neighbouring country had recently taken the title - bit of friendly rivalry .. hahahaha

No flag

They are extending the pole to break the world record again so there is currently no flag. Nice area around it, but not that much to see.

The Flag is NOT CURRENTLY THERE

There's a flag near the carpet museum that I think some reviewers have mistaken for National Flag Square. Right now (September 2018) the flag and square are under renovation. The "other" flag near the carpet museum is also impressive and it's a great picture from...More
