A Flag Raised at History’s Heart

His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed raised the UAE flag at Qasr Al Muwaiji on Flag Day, a gesture that carried profound significance for the nation’s heritage and identity. The act of unfurling the flag at this distinguished historical landmark served as a powerful affirmation of the values the nation holds dear.

In reflecting upon the occasion, His Highness emphasised that celebrating Flag Day at Qasr Al Muwaiji embodies a deep pride in the foundations upon which the United Arab Emirates was established. The choice of venue spoke eloquently to the continuity between the nation’s storied past and its present purpose. The flag itself, raised against the sky above these historic walls, represents far more than cloth and colour: it stands as an enduring symbol of unity, sovereignty and the dignity of the nation and its people.

The observance honoured not merely a date on the calendar, but the profound roots from which the UAE has grown, and the collective spirit that binds its people together under a shared vision and shared values.
