In January 2002 I spent a week in the UAE. I saw the flag of the Emirates Heritage Club, white with black
Arabic lettering and a black logo similar to a circle formed by triangles. The flag could be seen in several places
(sort of E.H.C. Branches) and in every one of them there were plenty of identical flags.
