Eagle of Saladin

The Eagle of Saladin (Arabic: نسر صلاح الدين‎), known in Egypt as the Egyptian Eagle (Arabic: النسر المصري‎ al-ʿuʾạb al-missry), and the Republican Eagle (العقاب الجمهوري‎ el-ʿuʾạb el-goumhūri), is a heraldic eagle that serves as the national symbol and coat of arms of Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, and of the Southern Transitional Council of South Yemen. Since the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, the eagle has been an iconic symbol of Egypt, and of Arab nationalism, particularly in Arab states that underwent anti-imperialist political change from the 1950s onwards. It was formerly the national symbol of the now defunct United Arab Republic, North Yemen, South Yemen, and the Libyan Arab Republic.
