The banner o Qatar (Arabic: علم قطر) haes a proportion o 11:28.
It is maroon color wi a broad white serrated baund (nine white pynts) on the hoist side.
The meanin o Qatar’s banner is:
It is vera seemilar tae the banner o the neighbourin kintra o Bahrain, which haes fewer pynts, a 3:5 proportion, an a reid colour instead o purpie. A common explanation o the differences atween the twa, is simply tae distinguish them. A popular but fanciful tale referrin tae the maroon colour an the similarity tae the reid Bahrain banner, is that purpie is wha becomes o reid fading in the Gulf sun.. The legend goes that Qatar's banner uised tae be reid, an that a new teep o dye wis uised for the oreeginal banners. Housomeivver efter bein left in the sun, the colour chynged tae maroon, which wis then regardit tae be a mair bonnie colour (bi coincidence). That is an aa why this specific shade o maroon is cawed "Qatar Red".
Qatar's emir, lik Kuwait's, is no kent tae hae a personal staundart, nor daes ony ither member o the ryal faimily.
It is assumed that, in 1855, Shaikh jasim ibn Muhammad Al Thani awready uised a banner wi seemilar pattern an the colour reid an white. The banner wis offeecially adoptit on Julie 9, 1971, awtho a nearly identical banner (ae differin in proportion) haed been uised syne 1949.
