A Day of Pride & Unity
UAE Flag Day is a powerful reminder of the values that unite the nation. The day celebrates a renewed sense of belonging, loyalty, and pride in the homeland and its leadership. It’s a time when people across the Emirates come together to honour the country’s remarkable journey and strong sense of unity.
Dubai’s ‘National Month’ Celebrations
Adding to the excitement, Dubai has officially kicked off the ‘National Month’, an emirate-wide celebration running from Flag Day to Eid Al Etihad on December 2, 2025. Returning for the second year in a row, this month-long celebration will see the UAE draped in vibrant colours as flags take over homes, schools, streets, and shopfronts across the country.
How To Display The Flag With Respect
While you’re getting ready to show your UAE pride, it’s important to handle the flag with respect. Always check these frew requirements before raising. Make sure it’s not faded, torn, or damaged. And if you’re hanging it across a street, remember the golden rule – it should be displayed vertically with the red section on top and the other three colours below.
A Moment To Unite
So mark your calendars for 11am on November 3. It will be a moment when the entire country stands tall under one flag. Whether it’s on your balcony, at work, or in your neighbourhood, raising the UAE flag is a beautiful way to celebrate unity, pride, and love for the nation.
