The red and white flag of Tunisia, adopted as the national flag in 1827, has its origins in the naval ensign of the Kingdom of Tunis adopted in 1831 by Al-Husayn II ibn Mahmud. The current official design dates to 1999. This flag is ideal for the low-wind area. The lightweight design allows the flag to fly in a mild breeze. However, outdoor use in super windy areas is not recommended.Screen-printed on a durable 150 denier shiny polyester material and finished with a double stitched hem, this flag features a white fabric header with two brass grommets on the 3′ side for easy display. The flag is best used indoors but can withstand occasional outdoor use. The authentic design is based on information from official sources.
