What country does this flag represent?

The flag of the United Arab Emirates was adopted on December 2, 1971.

It contains the Pan-Arab colors red, green, white, and black, which symbolize Arabian unity.

Merchant ships may fly the alternative civil ensign, a red flag with the national flag in the canton.

Have you been to the UAE before? Share some of your best moments please.

I have never traveled outside the U. S., except a quick trip over the border to Canada..I saw Blue Hawaii with Elvis there. I have never flown anywhere! I used a majority vote for this one!

Re "Arabian unity"—"Arab" is now generally used in reference to people; the use of Arabian in this sense is historical.

anthonygriffin, no need for the inverted commas - the UAE is a country not a movie! Just like the USA

The "United Arab Emirates" is definitely, making a name for itself, with a very wealthy economy. The only time I have been to the "United Arab Emirates" is by way of the film "Fast 7." There were some nice locales for the incredible stunts that were pulled off in the movie. There was also a "Mission Impossible" film that had Actor Tom Cruise, hanging off the side of one of the "United Arab Emirates" very tall buildings.
