Country Overview
Flag
The flag of the United Arab Emirates features four colors: red, green, white, and black. These colors represent Arabian unity and were inspired by a poem describing the Arab revolt. The red vertical stripe represents strength and courage, while the green, white, and black horizontal stripes symbolize hope, peace, and the defeat of enemies, respectively.
Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of the UAE includes a golden falcon, a traditional symbol of strength and heritage. The falcon holds a red disk with a dhow (traditional sailing vessel), representing the nation’s historical seafaring trade. The falcon’s claws grasp a banner that reads “United Arab Emirates” in Arabic, while a shield featuring the UAE flag rests on the falcon’s chest.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is located in the Arabian Peninsula’s southeast, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The UAE established a federation of six emirates in December 1971: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, and Fujairah, with Ras Al Khaimah joining in 1972. Abu Dhabi, the capital city, is located in the largest and wealthiest of the seven emirates.
Since its inception in 1971, the UAE has grown swiftly, being known for its sophisticated infrastructure, international events, and role as a commercial and transportation hub. The UAE celebrated its Golden Jubilee, 50 years after federation, in 2021.
