Dubai Unveils 13th Flag Garden Featuring 10,000 Flags Honouring Sheikh Mohammed

Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, has officially inaugurated the 13th edition of the annual Flag Garden. This year’s display serves as a profound tribute to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, celebrating a leadership and humanitarian legacy that continues to inspire generations and define the nation’s commitment to excellence and future-shaping innovation.

An Artistic Tribute to Leadership

The installation, located at its permanent site on Jumeirah Beach in Umm Suqeim 2, spans 5,400 square metres. It features nearly 10,000 UAE flags meticulously arranged to form a large-scale, high-impact portrait of Sheikh Mohammed. The artwork measures 60 metres by 90 metres, symbolizing a leader whose vision for public service and national development remains at the core of the UAE’s societal progress.

Part of the National Month Celebrations

• The Flag Garden is a key element of the broader ‘National Month’ celebrations, organized by Brand Dubai in partnership with various government, semi-government, and private sector entities.
• The initiative serves as a unifying space for citizens, residents, and international visitors, encouraging a shared expression of loyalty and belonging while honoring the legacy of the UAE’s Founding Fathers.
• Shaima Al Suwaidi, Director of Brand Dubai, noted that the garden leverages creativity to transform public spaces into immersive experiences that convey national values, allowing people across diverse cultures and generations to appreciate the principles underpinning the country’s rapid development.
• Mahra Alyouha, a member of the ‘National Month’ Organizing Committee, emphasized that the event has become a highly anticipated fixture that brings families together, with this year’s edition holding special weight due to its global focus on Sheikh Mohammed’s influential vision and humanitarian contributions.

The Flag Garden will remain open to the public until 10 January 2027, offering a unique cultural dimension to Dubai’s seasonal celebrations. Brand Dubai continues its tradition of using creative expression to bridge the gap between national symbolism and community engagement. Visitors are encouraged to document their experiences at the site and share them on social media platforms using the hashtag #UAEFlagGarden to highlight the unity and patriotic spirit that define the current era of national progress in the UAE.
