Order of the Virtues (Egypt)

The Royal Order of the Virtues (or Malakiun Nishan al-Kamal) is a dynastic order-of-knighthood for women of the Egyptian Royal Family which is very rarely awarded by its current sovereign, King Fuad II.

The Order was founded in 1915 by King Hussein Kamel I of Egypt to honour women in various fields of society.

The Order of Virtues (or Nishan Kamal) is an Egyptian national honour awarded to Egyptian and foreign women for merits, service and contributions.

The Order was established under the Republic in 1953 by Presidential Decree, using a similar name and insignia of the original honour, the Order of the Virtues.
