UAE Flag Day 2025 Sheikh Mohammed Calls for Unity at 11 a.m

In a heartfelt message, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister and Vice-President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has called upon every citizen, resident, and institution in the UAE to raise the national flag at exactly 11 a.m. on November 3.

The call carries deep emotion and pride — a reminder of unity, loyalty, and belonging that defines the UAE Flag Day celebration. Sheikh Mohammed said the flag represents renewed commitment to the nation and a shared love for the country and its wise leadership.

A Nation United Under One Flag

UAE Flag Day is more than a ceremonial moment — it’s a powerful expression of national unity. Across homes, offices, schools, and skyscrapers, UAE flags will soar high in the wind, painting the country in red, green, white, and black.

From bustling Dubai to the calm corners of Fujairah, the UAE Flag Day celebration will echo pride and patriotism, symbolizing the unity of hearts that beats for one nation. The event is part of Dubai’s National Month initiative, which runs until December 2, leading to the grand UAE National Day festivities.

Honoring the Flag with Respect

Sheikh Mohammed reminded everyone that the UAE flag must always be displayed with dignity. It should be clean, untorn, and unfaded — a mark of respect for the values it stands for. When the UAE flag is hung vertically across streets, the red stripe must always be at the top, representing courage and strength.

A Symbol of Pride and Belonging

The UAE flag is more than fabric — it is the heartbeat of a nation. It tells a story of unity, resilience, and hope. Sheikh Mohammed’s message inspires every resident to pause for a moment, raise the UAE flag, and feel the pride of being part of a nation built on respect, harmony, and progress.

As the clock strikes 11 a.m. on November 3, millions across the country will stand together — not just to raise a flag, but to celebrate the spirit of the UAE.
