The tallest flagpole in the world? - Dubai

I lived here for five years and in many ways it's a great place to live.

It is definitely an underrated and great value place to visit for a holiday, although try to avoid May - October as you won't enjoy being outside and so won't be able to enjoy all the UAE has to offer. (40C every day and up to 50C, humidity up to 99% at night)
