Its longer wheelbase distinguishes it from the Al-Shibl 1 by adding a two-person crew and troop compartment, while steel armor, run-flat tires, firing ports, and roof weapon-mount options make it a compact protected-mobility vehicle for personnel transport, scouting, border patrol, and convoy support roles.

Open sources describe it as a BTR-40-like open-topped APC using a German Magirus-Deutz/UNIMOG-derived truck chassis made under licence in Egypt with a locally produced armored body, two crew, space for about ten troops, a pintle 7.62 mm machine gun, central tire-pressure regulation, and no amphibious, NBC, or night-vision equipment. It first saw combat in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, later appeared in captured Israeli service, and was followed in Egyptian production by the Fahd APC family.
