About the flag
Its four colours are often linked to lines by the medieval Arab poet Safi al-Din al-Hilli, praising white deeds, black battles, green lands and red swords.
How to spot it: Green-white-red stripes with a black trapezoid, not a triangle, at the hoist; the UAE uses a vertical red bar instead.
