The Eagle of Saladin (Arabic: نسر صلاح الدين, romanized: Nasr Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn), known in Egypt as the Egyptian Eagle (Arabic: النسر المصري, romanized: an-Nasr al-Miṣrī),[1] and the Republican Eagle (Arabic: النسر الجمهوري, romanized: an-Nasr al-Jumhūrī), is a heraldic eagle that serves as the coat of arms of many countries; Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, and Yemen. Since the 1952 Egyptian revolution, 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.
