A Pakistani athlete, who fell in love with Bahrain during his first visit this year, has designed a massive red-and-white flag that he hopes to unveil in the kingdom, coinciding with its 54th National Day.
Saqib Rahman has fashioned a design that is about 91.4 metres long and six metres wide (300 x 20 feet) from 120m of fabric, which he hopes to reveal on December 16.
It weighs 30kg and covers an area of 1,829sqm.
“The flag is almost ready and I am currently giving the finishing touches to it,” Mr Rahman told the GDN.
“I have been working closely with a local tailor to complete the work and am excited to return to Bahrain and dedicate this initiative to the country,” he added.
After facing an initial setback with local sponsorships, the 29-year-old chose to self-fund the initiative.
