SAASST Celebrates Flag Day

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology celebrated on November 03, 2022, at 11 am, the UAE Flag Day. On November 03, since 2013, citizens and residents across the UAE marked Flag Day.

The idea was conceived by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, to celebrate the accession of Sheikh Khalifa as President of the UAE in 2004. It is commemorated every year on the anniversary, November 3. It is not a public holiday. Sheikh Mohammed recently tweeted urging citizens, companies, and ministries to mark the occasion. “We call on our citizens, organizations, and ministries to hoist the flag simultaneously on November 3 at 11:00 am to express the unity of our home and our destiny,” he wrote.
