Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has called on the citizens of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to celebrate Flag Day on November 3. The UAE flag, an emblem of national pride, loyalty, and unity, should be flown by government institutions, ministries, schools, universities, and the public across all seven emirates, Sheikh Mohammed urged in a message on X. He emphasized that this occasion is an opportunity for the entire nation to express their commitment to the country.
Flag Day, established by Sheikh Mohammed in 2013, commemorates the late President Sheikh Khalifa's accession in 2004. The UAE flag, designed by Abdullah Al Maainah, consists of four colors—white, green, black, and red—each representing a unique attribute: good deeds and generosity, growth and prosperity, strength, resilience, and courage, and the sacrifices of previous generations of Emiratis in defense of the nation. While Flag Day is not a public holiday, people across the UAE mark it with pride and patriotism.
