History[]
The Order of Muhammad Ali was founded by Sultan Hussein Kamel to commemorate the Muhammad Ali dynasty on 14 April 1915.[1] It was discontinued on formation of the Arab Republic of Egypt on 18 June 1953.[1] There were three classes (collar, grand cordon and commander) and two medals (gold and silver).[1] The collar was restricted to heads of state and members of Egyptian and foreign Royal families; there were only fifteen at any one time.[2]
