Flag Day is observed in the United Arab Emirates every November 3, commemorating the inauguration of President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who took office on this date in 2004. This official observance reflects on the achievements during his presidency and honors the efforts of the UAE's founding fathers. On Flag Day, citizens participate in flag-raising ceremonies accompanied by the national anthem, reaffirming their allegiance to the UAE flag, which symbolizes the nation's greatness and unity. The flag, officially adopted on December 2, 1971, features a red vertical stripe and three horizontal stripes in green, white, and black, representing Arab unity. This day serves as a reminder of the aspirations for a better future for the UAE.
