In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, general rules govern the raising of the national flag. These include the following: the Saudi flag must be flown at all government buildings and public institutions throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, from sunrise to sunset. When displayed in a public square or open space, the flagpole must be at least six m high. For flags raised on buildings, the pole height must be at least three m. In both cases, the width of the flag must not be less than eighty cm.
The Saudi flag is raised inside buildings, touching the wall in halls, on poles of equal height. No other flag or banner may surpass or be larger than the size of the national flag in the same location. During conferences and celebrations, the flag is hung horizontally on the walls of the hall at a level higher than the seated attendees.
