UAE Flags |
Not all of the seven Emirates that build up the UAE have the same flag today, but that wasn’t always the case – red has historically been used for all of the emirates’ flags to mark ports, making it easy for ships to locate harbours. There is also rumour that in earlier times (around the turn of the century) the flag of Abu Dhabi was plain green, as used in many Islamic countries. But that lasted for no more than 10 years or so before being changed to red.
