was the flag of Egypt under
the Otomann empire since the

include three crescents and
three stars

which remained the official
flag of Egypt until the
beginning of the Great War

Egypt a British Protectorate
and an independent Sultanate
cutting all relations with the
Ottoman Port. Then once again,
the tri-crescent-tri-star flag
returned to the flagpoles of
Egypt

Egypt was declared an
independent Kingdom and the

coup in 1952 until 1958

Wahab, and it won a compition
in 1934 to write and compose a
