| Flag explanation: |
The flag of Qatar (Arabic: ??? ????) has a proportion of 11:28. It is maroon with a broad white serrated band (nine white points) on the hoist side.
The meaning of Qatar’s flag is:
- The white color reflects the internationally recognized symbol of peace.
- The maroon color symbolizes the bloodshed during the several wars Qatar had undergone, particularly in the second half of the 19th century.
- The nine-point serrated line indicates that Qatar is the 9th member of the "reconciled Emirates" of the Persian Gulf in the wake of concluding the Qatari-British treaty in 1916.
The flag was officially adopted on July 9, 1971, although a nearly identical flag (only differing in proportion) had been used since 1949. It is very similar to the flag of the neighbouring country of Bahrain, which has fewer points, a 3:5 proportion, and a red colour instead of maroon. A common explanation of the differences between the two, is simply to distinguish them. |
