The flag of Jordan consists of three horizontal stripes: black at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom, with a red triangle at the hoist side. The black, white, and green stripes are Pan-Arab colors, symbolizing the unity and history of the Arab people. The red triangle represents the Hashemite dynasty, to which the Jordanian royal family belongs, as well as the sacrifices made for the country’s independence. In the center of the red triangle is a white seven-pointed star, which symbolizes the seven districts of Jordan and the unity of the nation. The flag was adopted on April 18, 1928, and its design reflects both Jordan's Arab heritage and its royal lineage.
