The Order of the Sinai Star was established in 1972 as Egypt's highest military honour.

The Order rewards personnel for acts of extraordinary gallantry and outstanding bravery performed in direct combat with the enemy and which resulted in enemy casualties. It is estimated that approximately 200 awards have been issued; with many being presented for service in the Suez Canal.
The Order may be awarded posthumously.
