| The Oman flag carries the
Sultanate's emblem of two crossed swords with a khanjar and
belt superimposed. White depicts the conviction of the Omani
people in peace and prosperity. Red, which is dominant, has
been adopted from the old Omani flag (which was red) and this
symbolises the battles fought by Omanis for the eviction of
foreign invaders from the country, and green represents fertility
and greenery of the land. |
