| Obverse description | Central vignette of Al-Fatah al-Aleem Mosque in the New Administrative Capital, rendered in fine-line guilloché underprint with the mosque's distinctive dome and minarets. A transparent window to the left carries a ghost image of the mosque and the numeral 10 in Arabic script, a security feature unique to this polymer issue. A stylized reed and the Eye of Horus serve as dual registration devices, with Arabic legends and the value inscription arranged across the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a composite of ancient and modern Egyptian cultural heritage: the Library of Alexandria at left, the Great Pyramid of Giza in the central field, and a sculptural portrait of Queen Hatshepsut from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection at right. A winged sun disc flanked by uraeus serpents, a classical ancient Egyptian motif, appears in the upper register as a unifying decorative element. |
