Colors and the Meaning of the Saudi Arabia Flag

The national flag is only used for official purposes. The citizens of the country should use the flag with a golden palm tree on the two crossed swords in the upper right corner of the flag on the plain green background.

History of the Saudi Arabia Flag

Al Saud, the sovereign family of Saudi Arabia, has long been associated with Muhammad ibn Abd al-Vahab (his grandfather, the father of the present-day royal family of the Saudi family).

Abdulaziz Abdulrahman Al-Saud, the leader of al-Saud and the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1902, added a sword to this flag. The design of the flag was not standardized before March 15, 1973, and two sword or white vertical stripe variations were frequently used. By 1938, the flag had a fundamentally different design and took its present form with the shahada on the sword.
