Coral Beach Resort Sharjah Observes UAE National Flag Day

Guests and staff of Coral Beach Resort Sharjah joined in the celebrations of UAE National Flag Day at the hotel on 3rd November, 2015. The day holds a special significance in the country's history and this year marked the 10th anniversary of Presidency of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The UAE Flag Day celebrations across the country were aimed to enhance feelings of national unity and pride. Hoisting the National Flag with his team, Haytham Aziz, Hotel Manager, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, stated, 'It is an occasion of tremendous pride and honour for us and we are delighted to share this special moment with our guests and associates. It helps them to understand the history of the Nation as well as its glorious heritage and traditions'.

The UAE flag was chosen from over 1,030 designs according to The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development. Each colour in the UAE Flag holds a special significance. The red in the flag symbolises the sacrifices of previous generations who laid the foundations for the union of the seven emirates, and of subsequent martyrs who have died protecting the UAE. The green depicts growth, prosperity and cultural renaissance, while the black is said to reflect the rejection of injustice and extremism. The white celebrates the UAE's charitable contributions and the government's aim to work towards achieving global peace.
