U.A.E Flag Day / Flag Colors / GOOD TO KNOW

Tuesday, November 3 is UAE Flag Day. Created in 1971 for the country’s formation, the flag of the United Arab Emirates is a symbol of much pride for Emiratis. Like the flag of every nation, it must be respected and treated with honor. While the UAE’s flag is made up of the traditional pan-Arab colors, what those colors represent is important in a special way to Emiratis.

Red represents hardiness, bravery, strength and courage. The vertical red band can also be interpreted as binding all the other meanings together in unity.
Green
Green represents hope, joy, optimism and love. It can also symbolize the country’s prosperity.
White
