Flag Day was established in 2013 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. On this day, the Arab people sing the national anthem of the country and hang flags outside their homes.

The flag of the UAE holds a special place in Emirati culture. The four colours on the flag represent the most important values of the country's people: red for bravery, green for hope, white for honesty, and black for fortitude. Together, these colours symbolise the unity of the Arab people.

Flag Day is widely celebrated in all corners of the UAE, with schools, government agencies, companies and individuals proudly flying the national flag. The flag-raising ceremony is accompanied by a touching rendition of the national anthem. High respect for the flag has become common practice for millions of Emiratis.

The raising of the country's flag is governed by strict rules and regulations, which were implemented to maintain reverence and respect for what it symbolises. According to these rules, the flag must be rectangular and its height must be exactly half its width. Flag owners are required to check the condition of the flag every 45 days. If it is damaged or dirty, it must be replaced.

The celebration of UAE Flag Day honours people's positive attitude to Arab culture and national values. On this day, the people of the Emirates remember with trepidation the efforts of the founders of the state and the achievements of the era of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
