Qatar

About the flag

Qatar is correct. Its maroon-and-white flag with nine serrations is distinctive: white symbolizes peace, maroon recalls 19th‑century conflicts, and the nine points mark Qatar as the ninth “reconciled” state after its 1916 treaty with Britain. It also has an unusually long 11:28 proportion, rare among national flags. Memory tip: Qatar’s flag is darker maroon with more points; Bahrain’s is brighter red with only five. Qatar is a gas‑rich Gulf peninsula with capital Doha and host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
