Explanation: The UAE celebrates Flag Day on November 3, launched in 2008 by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to honor the red-green-white-black flag, adopted on December 2, 1971, when six emirates united (Ras Al Khaimah joined in 1972). Designed by Abdullah Al-Maaynah, it features red for unity, green for fertility, white for peace, and black for strength. In Abu Dhabi, flag-raising at Al-Ittihad Square and lighting displays mark it, pushing Vision 2030 in 2025 under Emir Mohammed bin Zayed. It’s not a public holiday—unlike Union Day (December 2)—but a unity symbol.
