Aspect ratio of the flags: 2: 3
The flags and the coat of arms with the
symbols on them indicate the generation of electricity by the hydropower plant
of the Aswan Dam. In addition to the
free-standing coat of arms, a version in an oval shield is also used. It shows
the symbols in gold / yellow in a dark blue analogous to the flag from 2016.
