However, between 1961 and 1972 United Arab Republic was also the name of several Arab nationalist attempts to restore the old UAR, to establish a new UAR or to unite with the UAR (i.e. Egypt), for example
- the Tripartite Unity Talks (1963) between Egypt, Iraq and Syria which failed after ba'athist-nasserist clashes in Syria
- the Unified Political Command for a planned merger of Egypt and Iraq 1964-1966
- the Unified Political Command for a planned merger of Egypt and North Yemen 1964-1967
- the Union of Arab Republics which Iraq proposed in 1972 as a restored UAR with Egypt and Syria. (It failed because of the earlier creation of the Egypt-Libyan-Syrian Federation of Arab Republics.)
- the United Arab Republic which Egypt and Libya planned 1972 as a more substantial union within the Egypt-Libyan-Syrian Federation of Arab Republics.
