In implementation of the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to declare the 30th of November of each year as Martyrs' Day, the Ministry of Presidential Affairs has decided that the UAE flag will be flown at half-mast in all government departments and institutions across the country on November 30th, from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m..

The United Arab Emirates marks the 30th of November every year in memory of and in tribute to the sacrifices made by the nation's martyrs and its loyal people, who offered their lives so as to keep the UAE flag flying high while they were performing their national duties within and outside the country, in civilian, military and humanitarian fields.
