UAE Flag Day 2026: Guidelines for raising and displaying the national flag
Dubai: As the UAE prepares to mark Flag Day on November 3 , government institutions, private businesses, schools and universities are gearing up to raise the national flag and organise celebrations across the country. Whether the flag is being raised outside an office building, displayed at a school assembly or used during a workplace celebration, there are official guidelines on how it should be…
The United Arab Emirates' official guidelines for Flag Day on November 3 outline the proper way to raise, display, and maintain the national flag. The flag can be displayed at various locations, including government buildings, schools, offices, and commercial establishments. When raising the flag horizontally, the red section must be on the left side, and when vertical, it should point upwards.
It should be raised quickly and secured tightly, with people standing still during the ceremony and standing facing the flag during the national anthem. The UAE flag should not be used for commercial advertising, altered with designs or images, or printed on disposable materials. It must also not be displayed lower than other flags and should be positioned nearest to the building when several flagpoles are installed at an entrance.
