The medal is dedicated to the Suez Crises (it is also called Sinai War, the Second Arab-Israeli war or the tripartite aggression), the international conflict that was on from October 1956 to March 1957 due to the fight for having control over the Suez Canal. The obverse has three armed Egyptians that are repelling the Anglo-Franco-Israeli amphibious attack coming from the sea and the air landing near the city of Port-Said. On the reverse there is a portrait of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the UAR President, painted in profile.
