Egyptian law is built primarily on the Napoleonic Code, with further influence from British law and traditional sharia law. Egypt's civil code went on to shape the civil codes of several other Middle Eastern jurisdictions, including Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, the pre dictatorship kingdoms of Libya and Iraq, and Kuwait's commercial code.

In Legal System

Family classification carried over from this entity's own recorded SubLabel (Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems), assigned under the section-legal-systems structure wave (ruling 761) using the CIA World Factbook / JuriGlobe comparative-law family classification (system.Atlas.DataBrief, law). This edge materializes that existing classification as a connective fact; it is not a new independent research finding.
