Meaning & history of the Oman flag

Oman's flag has white, red and green horizontal bands with a vertical red band at the hoist bearing the national emblem — crossed swords over a khanjar dagger. White represents peace and the imam, red battles against foreign invaders, and green fertility and the interior mountains. The dagger-and-swords emblem is the historic symbol of the ruling dynasty.
