The UAE Flag Day
During a speech in November 2013, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, called upon the people of the UAE to celebrate ‘Flag Day’ on November 3 every year as a national campaign to celebrate the anniversary of the accession of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan as President of the UAE.
He urged all Emiratis to participate in the event and called upon government entities and departments as well as ministries to hoist the national flag on buildings. The Cabinet has issued a procedural guide on the use of the UAE flag to preserve its prestige and status as a symbol of the country and national honor for the people of the UAE.
