The Order of the Republic (وسام الجمهورية) was stablished initially under law no. 528/1953, later replaced by law no. 12/1972. It now falls under the authority of the President.

The Order comprises five classes, each based on the recipient’s contributions and social standing:
- First Class (adorned with the grand sash)
- Second Class
- Third Class
- Fourth Class
- Fifth Classes.
The Order of The Republic Design
The insignia of the Egyptian Order of the Republic features a five-pointed star adorned with blue enamel and embellished with Islamic inscriptions.
At its core lies a circular gold emblem adorned with red enamel, within which the Arabic word “Republic” is inscribed. Gilded silver rays emanate from the star’s corners. Similarly, the order resembles the medallion but is of a smaller size.
The medal is fastened to the sash via a clip bearing Islamic inscriptions.
