  "summary": "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.",
