This vibrant and patriotic display marks the return of the annual UAE Flag Garden for its 11th edition. Situated in Dubai, the Flag Garden pays tribute to UAE Flag Day (November 3) and the upcoming Eid Al Etihad (Union Day) on December 2.
The Flag Garden has become a symbol of national pride and unity, enchanting both residents and visitors. It’s a fantastic chance to witness the nation’s flag in its most impressive form against the breathtaking backdrop of the Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach.
A Free Celebration for All

The location at Umm Suqeim Beach is ideal for combining your visit with a relaxing day at the beach or exploring nearby attractions.
This year’s Flag Garden is also part of the #ZayedAndRashid national campaign, showcasing the UAE’s dedication to honoring the legacies of the country’s founders, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. The annual event serves as a reminder of the values of unity, strength, and national pride that the UAE represents.
The Symbolism Behind the Flag Garden
With over 11,000 flags lining the garden, each waving proudly in the wind, the UAE Flag Garden offers not just a visual feast but also a moment to reflect on the unity and accomplishments of the nation.
