History

Adopted on 2 December 1971, the flag was introduced when the seven emirates united to form the United Arab Emirates. Its four Pan-Arab colors express Arab unity and sovereignty. The design was created by Abdullah Mohammed Al Maainah and was first raised at Mushrif Palace in Abu Dhabi and at Union House in Dubai.
