Of the 4,000 flags on Kite Beach in Dubai, a portrait was made of the founding father of the United Arab Emirates.
Thousands of flags were hoisted throughout the country in honor of UAE flag day.
Perhaps the most creative manifestation of national unity occurred at Kite Beach Jumeirah, where 4,000 flags were set in the sand, forming a portrait of Sheikh Zayed, the country's founding father.
Last year, in honor of the holiday, a map of the country and the letters "UAE" were made from flags.
