Bakker describes the flag as bright green with a central quasi-triangle containing an intricate device, following Brown 1995.

The triangle has a rounded base. Its emblem appears to be a gold ring with seven projecting legs, the first, fourth and seventh longer, enclosing a yellow M with curved legs and two rings between them. The device is edged green, with a yellow Arabic inscription below. Aburdees, photographed to starboard on 31 May 2002, confirms the green shade. A portside photograph of Dahab from 1999 appears light-adjusted and somewhat darker.

Mitchell depicts the emblem separately as well as on the funnel, but uses a conventional shield. Rosanoski finds this surprising given the otherwise accurate emblem; the collection includes three line drawings, among them Aburdees.
