Kosty,

Thanks for posting and welcome!

That is the Military Medal of the Republic (United Arab Republic version). The medal looks silver, and if it is, then it's the First Class. Awarded "to those who display great devotion to duty on the battlefield irrespective of rank." The ribbon is well worn but it's always hard to find Egyptian medals with the original ribbon. And it's really interesting to see that the ribbon appears to have a cardboard mount for display or wear. Congratulations on a nice find.
