Oman Flag
Oman's national flag is made up of three horizontal stripes: white, green, and red. A crimson band on the left side of the flag depicts Oman's national insignia, which consists of a dagger and two swords. Since 1970, when the Sultan introduced a new design, the flag has undergone some changes. The addition of the green and white stripes, as well as the location of the national insignia, were intended to signify the country's unity and harmony.
The green tint of the flag signifies the Green Mountains, while the white color depicts the Imam, Oman's religious leader. The crimson color, which is popular in Gulf state flags, reflects the nation's bravery. The canton's national emblem, a curved dagger clasped over a pair of crossed swords, is thought to date back to the 18th century. Oman's naval ensign is blue with Oman in the canton and the naval service insignia in the fly. The Sultan of Oman's standard is red with a green border and the country's insignia in gold in the center.
