National flag:
The national flag is maroon colour with a
broad vertical white stripe at the pole, the
two colours being separated with a
nine-point serrated line.
Meaning of the flag:
A- The white colour reflects the
internationally recognized symbol of peace.
B- The maroon colour symbolizes the
bloodshed during the several wars Qatar had
undergone, particularly in the second half
of the 19th century.
C- The nine-point serrated line indicates
that Qatar is the 9th member of the
"reconciled Emirates" of the Arabian Gulf in
the wake of concluding the Qatari-British
treaty in 1916. This information on design
and colour of Qatar flag was mentioned in
the Archives of the British Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in 1931.
