Flags of each emirate
1. Abu Dhabi: Red is the primary color on the flag of Abu Dhabi, which has a white rectangle in the upper left corner. According to the British General Maritime Treaty of 1820, the Bani Yas would fly a full red flag during wartime (Abu Dhabi and Dubai).
2. Ajman and Dubai: Ajman’s and Dubai’s flags are exactly the same. In both flags, the hoist is plain red with a white bar, which is closest to the flag pole. Dubai and Ajman adopted the White Red Halved flag as an alternative to Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah’s White Pierced Red flag in defiance of the 1820 General Maritime Treaty with the British in order to distinguish their authority from that of the Al Qawasim.
3. Fujairah: In the years preceding 1952, Fujairah’s flag was a simple red. Fujairah has continued to fly its red plain flag despite signing the general treaty with the British protectorate in 1820. The flag of the United Arab Emirates was adopted in 1975, replacing the flag of the UAE.
4. Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah: Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah have the same flag because they are both ruled by two branches of the same family. They show a red rectangle on a white background.
5. Umm Al Quwain: As a symbol of Islam and allegiance to the Islamic world the flag of Umm Al Quwain features a large white star and crescent in the center of a red background.
