The Jordanian Flag & National Day

The story of Jordan's flag and independence: colours, the star, and how the country celebrates.

Jordan's flag carries the four pan-Arab colours — black, white, green and red — with a seven-pointed white star symbolising the nation's seven hills and unity. It echoes the flag of the 1916 Arab Revolt.

Independence Day on 25 May is celebrated with parades and colours across the Kingdom. Understanding the badge deepens any visit. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan see the flag everywhere, and full package tours to Jordan include a moment of its history.
