The Governor of Qina is also Governor of
Luxor and both governorates had the same
flag at the time.

Flag of the governorate, with description from the governorate website. Image
reconstructed, based on the emblem of the governorate: "Qena's flag is white
with a government emblem that refers to the Nile and big agricultural land, the
gate of Dandara's temple refers to the ancient Egyptian civilization and to
modern tourism."
Johnny Andersson, 23 February 2007
Aspect ratio of the flags: 2: 3
The coat of arms was placed on a white
field to make a new governorate flag, adopted in 2016.

There is also a variant of the modern flag in which the coat of arms is
completely green.

The Governor of Qina is also Governor of
Luxor and both governorates have (had?) the same
flag.

I have a video film of the Qena Governorate flag taken in situ in
2003. It has some variations but is similar to this one on Fotw (with or
without the figure, and minor differences in the monument).
Luxor was separated administratively from Qena and
adopted its flag own before 2003. It is a very complicated design.

The flag from March 4th, 2006 shows an ancient Egyptian gate, inside the
figure of an ancient Egyptian, as an indication of the long past of this region
on the Nile.

The figure of the Egyptian was removed from the flag of March 19, 2013 and
the gate was redesigned.

In 2014 a coat of arms was adopted which, in addition to the reference to the
past - ancient Egyptian temples - also refers to the present and the
geographical location - cogwheel for industry, waves for the Nile.
