Morocco flag and its meaning

Red has been the colour of Morocco’s sharifs for centuries, carried by the Alaouite dynasty that has ruled since the 17th century.

The green five-pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, was added in 1915; it traditionally evokes the five pillars of Islam as well as health and peace.
