How the national flag should be flown
There are strict laws regulating how the UAE’s flag should be flown.
The flag should be rectangular in shape with the height half of its width and the colours in the correct order.
The owner must check on the flag’s condition every 45 days to ensure no damage has occurred – and it must be changed every six months.
