The Flags

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.
