Let's learn a little about the country of Qatar!

The flag of Qatar is white on the left and red on the right, and the middle is a jagged edge splitting up the two colors.
The red color is called "Qatar Maroon" and goes back over 100 years to when the country made a reddish colored dye from shellfish, and the white is for peace.
