The Facts:
The flag has four colors: red, black, white, and green. Each color is a rectangular block. Together the colors make an "E" shape. The red stripe is vertical. Green is the top horizontal stripe. White is in the middle, and black is on bottom. The colors were chosen to represent the uniting of seven Arab Emirates. Each color has a special meaning to Arabic people. Green represents fertility. White represents peace. Black represents the oil that supports the country's economy. Red represents previous flags of the Muslim people. Just like in the United States, the flag is very important to the people here and represents their pride in their country.
