The flag of Kuwait (Arabic: علم الكويت) was adopted on September 7, 1961 and officially hoisted November 24, 1961.

The colours' meaning came from a poem by Safie Al-Deen Al-Hali:

  • White are our deeds
  • Black are our battles
  • Green are our lands
  • Red are our swords

Rules of hanging and flying the flag:

  • Horizontally: The green stripe should be on top.
  • Vertically: The green strip should be on the right side of the flag.

In 2005, it became the design of the world's largest kite at a size of 1019 square meters. It was made in New Zealand by Peter Lynn, officially launched in Kuwait, and has not been beaten since then.
