The UAE has very specific guidelines set out for the use and display of the UAE flag. One of
the rules regards the dimensions of the flag. The rule is that the ratio of the length of the flag
to the width must be 2: 1.
The length and width of the flag is 37 cm and 18.5 cm
It is divided into four rectangular parts. The first is red in colour, its length being equivalent to
the height of the flag, while its width is 0.25 of the length of the entire flag. The other three
parts constitute the remaining area of the flag which are in the shape of three equal horizontal
rectangles, width of these rectangles should be 0.33 of the width of the entire flag . The top
most rectangle part is green, the middle is white and the lower is black in colour.
