Tamra is situated in the western Lower Galilee, 20 km
southeast of Acre, 30 km northeast of Haifa and 5 km north of Shfar'am. It became a Local Council in
1956 and a municipality in 1996. Its population is 22'000, all
Muslims.
During my visit I noticed all the town is decorated in multicolor
flags. All of them have the emblem on a monochrome background,
with an Arabic inscription above the emblem and a semicircular
Hebrew inscription below the emblem. I spotted white emblem on
light green, white emblem on dark blue, black emblem on yellow
and green emblem on white. My images are a bit inaccurate since
the Hebrew inscription should be semicircular. The municipal
emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot),
YP 1303, 22 September 1966, for the then Local Council Tamra.
