The governorate was founded in 1958.
Linked to this is probably the most powerful agricultural development project in
Egypt. With the so-called Toshka project, in which not only Egypt but also
investors from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The aim is to make
large parts of the Libyan desert usable for agriculture by channeling water
there from Lake Nasser (reservoir of the Aswan Dam). The aim is to create a
livelihood for 3 million people.
This plan is also reflected in the symbols.
Since
the remains of ancient Egyptian buildings can also be found here, an ancient
portal forms the frame for the coat of arms. The two side posts are each covered
with an ear of grain. In the portal the section of a water wheel can be seen,
which symbolizes the huge pumping systems with which the water is pumped from
Lake Nasser into the Toshka Canal. There is a palm tree on the water wheel. The
entire representation is based on the green representation of a field, which in
turn lies on a blue wavy line. In the gate opening below the water wheel, a rock
that is characteristic of the Libyan desert and formed by the desert wind can be
seen (eg-g-waj2).gif). This representation shows the historical, natural and
economic importance of the governorate.
In 2016 the coat of arms became the
new governorate flag in the middle on a white background.

The 2006 flag depicts an ear of corn over wavy blue lines on white cloth.
This shows the fertility of the desert through irrigation.
