In a call to foster national pride and unity, UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has urged all citizens, residents, and institutions to raise the UAE flag at precisely 11 am on November 3, marking the country’s annual Flag Day. The day symbolizes a renewed commitment to the values of the union, emphasizing a sense of belonging and loyalty to the homeland and its leadership. Sheikh Mohammed, who also serves as the Vice-President and Ruler of Dubai, highlighted the importance of this gesture in strengthening national identity. The celebration coincides with the ‘National Month,’ an emirate-wide initiative in Dubai that runs from Flag Day until Eid Al Etihad on December 2, 2025. This year marks the second consecutive observance of the extended celebration. As flags adorn homes, shops, and streets across the UAE, residents are reminded to handle the national symbol with respect. Guidelines include inspecting the flag for damage before raising it and ensuring proper placement when displayed vertically in public spaces, with the red stripe positioned at the top. The initiative underscores the UAE’s ongoing efforts to cultivate patriotism and unity among its diverse population.
