| | |
| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| The lion significates "Order" (in arabic, it's written and pronunciated "Nidham"), the ship is the meaning of "Freedom" ("Hurriya") and the balance is the "Justice" (Adala).

| | |
| The colours are not officially defined. Since 1989 the image above is generally used, with the whole shield golden. The image below, is the coloured version, which currently is no longer or rarely used. The arms can also be seen with the lower half reversed, as seen on th eimage below.
