Sketch of the original "eagle of Saladin" of the Cairo Citadel in Cairo, Egypt
The Eagle of Saladin (Arabic: نسر صلاح الدين), known in Egypt as the Egyptian Eagle (Arabic: النسر المصريal-nisr al-missry),[1] and the Republican Eagle (النسر الجمهوريel-ʿuʾạb el-goumhūri), is a heraldic eagle that serves as the coat of arms of many countries; Egypt, Iraq, Coat of arms of the Kurdish autonomous region of Iraq (KRG), Palestine, and Yemen. Since the Egyptian 1952 coup d'etat, 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.
