In posting an article on the flag of the UAE for preparation towards the new Culture Test to attain a residency visa, it is interesting to note that the separate emirates have had or still have their own flag.History of Fujairah Flags
A Wikipedia article reports:
“From 1902 until 1952, the flag of Fujairah was plain red.”
“In 1952, the Emir included the name of the emirate, in white, on the red flag.”
“This continued to be the official flag until Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed al Sharqi abolished the red flag and adopted [in 1975], instead, the Federal flag for Fujairah.”

I'm from Al-ain, and I have never been to Al-Fujaira, imagine that, though I have a couple of freinds who live there. It has a cool nature.
ReplyDeleteThe spelling of Al-Fujairah word on the flag is wrong, it was written as it's pronounced which is wrong :P.
Never been to Fujairah?
