The United Arab Emirate’s flag was adopted on 2 December 1971 and hoisted by the first president to formally declare the establishment of the United Arab Emirates as an independent country. In 2016 it will be the same day as a UAE National Day.
United Arab Emirate’s FlagIt was designed by a young Emirati, Abdullah Mohammed Al Maainah, who entered a competition to design the new flag. His flag was chosen from over 1000 entries.
The flag displays three equal horizontal bands of green, white and black respectively from the top downwards, while the vertical strip of red is next to the mast. The four colours are meant to reflect Arabian unity inspired by an Arabic poem by Safiul Din Al Holi. The poet wrote about the hard-fought historical battles of the land, with deeds and intentions that were benign (white), but the vigour of the battles were strong (black), while the lands were vast and green, and the gallant swords were stained with red blood.
