{{no sources|date=February 2019}} [[Image:Emblem of the United Arab Emirates.svg|right|250px]] The '''emblem of the [[United Arab Emirates]]''' ({{lang-ar|شعار الإمارات العربية المتحدة}}) was officially adopted in 1973 and later modified in 2008. It is similar to the coats of arms and emblems of other Arab states. It consists of a [[Gold (color)|golden]] [[falcon]], unlike other Arab countries which use the [[hawk]] emblem of the [[Quraysh]] branch to which [[Muhammad]] belonged. The falcon has a red disk which shows an [[dhow|Arab sailboat]] in its interior. The disk is surrounded by a chain. The hawk holds with its claws a red parchment bearing the inscription of the name of the federation. {{Coats of arms of Asia}} [[Category:National emblems|United Arab Emirates]] {{asia-stub}}
