In 2016, the flag was changed so that the
English name was also changed to "S.SINAI GOVERNORATE" and the color of the
laurel wreath was changed to green, while the colors in the coat of arms were
retained.

The first, white flag shows a symbol with the outline map of the Sinai
Peninsula, the landmass represented by a white center in yellow and red rays.
Above the coat of arms-like symbol the name of the governorate in Arabic and in
English: "Governorate of South Sinai", around it a black laurel wreath.

The symbol from the first flag became the coat of arms of the governorate in
2014. The rays are shown here in two different light shades of yellow, each
separated by a thin white ray. The English signature was changed to “S. SINAI
GOVERNORATE ”, the laurel wreath is now green.

The flag is seen in this photo. It is
blue and bears the logo of the city's name in a joint Arabic and English
format in white.

For some clarification, the slogan-image on this flag has an intermixing of
"Sharm" in English on the top, and "Sharm" in Arabic [which is read
right-to-left" as (mrahs) شرم ] on the bottom; particularly where the English
"a" is modified as an "m" [ م ] in Arabic, and at the right the English "m"
becomes intermixed with the three-dot "s" [ش] of Arabic – sort of an artistic
upside-down "mirror image" of the two different letters – pretty "cool looking"
once one understands what is intermixing in this artwork! The wording of "El
Sheikh" itself does not appear on this flag.
