The Qatari flag has been officially considered as the national land and sea flag of the State of Qatar since 17th July 1949! In other words, this flag is used everywhere by the Qataris: in the State, in civilian life and in the army (army and navy).

Qatar is a Middle Eastern emirate located on a small peninsula (in the form of a small peanut) that extends into the Persian Gulf Sea. Its only neighbouring country is Saudi Arabia, which borders it entirely on the southern border. Qatar is known worldwide for its oil and natural gas production. It is part of OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries). After Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Iraq and Venezuela, it was the 6th member to join the Organization of Petroleum Countries in 1961, which now has 15 member countries.

Symbolism of Qatari colours

The Qatar flag consists of a white part and a purple part. It is one of the symbols of the State of Qatar, an emirate of the Middle East.

It is one of three two-coloured flags in the world with vertical red and white stripes, with the flag of Bahrain (which is very similar to it) and the flag of Malta.

The band on the luff (height of the flag on the side where it is fixed) is white. Its particularity is that this band is cut into sawtooth shapes which is a really rare feature on the flags of the world. It therefore ends in nine white points that are cut out on the purple red part of the right part. Originally, the flag was decorated in red like some other flags of the countries of the peninsula in the time of the British. The bright red hue that changed with the Qatari sun and gradually turned to a purple brown color was simply adopted as the chromatic choice later on. Red therefore originally symbolized the colour of the British Empire, while white was added as a symbol of peace on the Qatari flag.

The nine white points represent the nine emirates that occupy the Persian Gulf: Bahrain, Qatar itself, as well as the seven United Arab Emirates, namely: Dubai, Fujairah, Ajman, Ras el Khaïmah, Sharjah, Umm al Qaïwaïn and Abu Dhabi.

The other symbols of Qatar (also spelled Katar) are the Qatari national anthem "As Salam al Amiri" and the emblem of Qatar: a golden circle surrounded by the colours of the national flag which contains two crossed swords containing a sea with two palm trees and a dhow, a traditional type of Arab sailboat from the Red Sea.
