The flag of the Federation of Arab Republics was the flag of Egypt, Libya and Syria from 1972–1977. The flag is a horizontal tricolour of red, white and black with a golden Hawk of Quraish placed on the center on the white stripe.[1][2][3]

The flag was abandoned in Libya in 1977 after Muammar Gaddafi established the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and adopted a green flag.

Egypt and Syria continued to still used the flag of the Federation of Arab Republics until the early 1980s. Syria adopted the former United Arab Republic flag in 1980 and Egypt in 1984.[4] Syria continued to use the 1980 flag until 2024.
