Product Description

This Saudi Arabia flag with fringe is made for indoor display at embassies, consulates, offices, and conference rooms. The green field with the white Shahada and sword is printed on UV-resistant 200 denier nylon, the pole hem is flannel-lined with Velcro tabs, and the flag is finished with a 2.5 IN golden yellow rayon fringe. Made in the USA, in 3 FT x 5 FT and 4 FT x 6 FT.

We supply flags to the diplomatic community in Washington, and the Saudi flag is one we keep in stock in indoor and outdoor finishes. Because the flag carries the Islamic declaration of faith, the inscription is printed to the official proportions so it reads correctly from the front. For a matched set, see our country flags.

Historical Background

The flag of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was adopted in its present form in 1973, though the green field and Shahada go back to the flags of the House of Saud in the nineteenth century. The inscription reads There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Beneath it lies a sword, added by King Abdulaziz, whose unification of the kingdom the sword commemorates. Because the flag bears the Shahada, it is never flown at half-staff and is made so the inscription reads correctly on both faces.

A Saudi Arabia flag with fringe is the indoor form used at the embassy in Washington, at consulates, and in offices where the flag stands beside the American flag.

Which side of the American flag does the Saudi flag stand on?

Indoors in the United States, the American flag stands at its own right, which is the viewer’s left, and the Saudi flag stands beside it at the same height on a pole of the same size.

Is the flag double-sided?

Ask us before ordering if you need the inscription to read correctly on both faces. We can advise on the right construction for your display.

Should this flag ever be flown at half-staff?

No. Because it carries the Shahada, the Saudi flag is not lowered to half-staff by custom. Adjust other flags and leave it at full height.

Can it be flown outdoors?

This is a fringed indoor flag. For an outdoor Saudi flag with grommets, see our country flags.

What pole and stand fit it?

A 3 FT x 5 FT flag fits an 8 FT indoor pole; the 4 FT x 6 FT fits a 9 FT pole. Top it with a spear finial, since the eagle is reserved for the American flag.
