The flag of Bahrain consists of a white field on the left and a red field on the right, separated by a vertical, serrated line with five white points that resemble a zigzag.
- Red is a traditional color used in the flags of Gulf states, historically associated with the Kharijite sect of Islam and also representing the country’s rich history and heritage.
- White symbolizes peace.
- The five white points of the serrated line represent the Five Pillars of Islam, reflecting the nation’s Islamic faith.
Adopted in its current form in 2002, the flag of Bahrain symbolizes both the country’s Islamic heritage and its commitment to peace.
