Dubai’s much-loved Flag Garden returns for its 11th edition, and this year, it’s bigger and more breathtaking than ever!

Organised by Brand Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, the Flag Garden celebrates UAE’s Founding Fathers – Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum -with an incredible display of 11,600 UAE flags creating aerial portraits of these national icons.

This grand setup, which spans 75 by 104 metres, is part of the #ZayedAndRashid campaign, celebrating the inspiring legacy that laid the foundation for the UAE’s journey toward prosperity.

Shaima Al Suwaidi from Brand Dubai says, “This year’s Flag Garden beautifully honours two national icons who shaped the UAE into what it is today, marking a moment of unity and pride for all who visit.”

More than a visual treat, Flag Garden is a heartfelt tribute to Emirati heritage and a symbol of pride and unity.

It has become a true landmark event in Dubai, with Project Manager Mahra Alyouha noting that Flag Garden 2024 will be open to visitors from 3 November 2024 until 10 January 2025, perfect for UAE Flag Day and Eid Al Etihad celebrations.
