Law of EgyptCapstone
Capstone: Marta Kowalska and the Cairo architecture studio
Marta Kowalska is an invented Polish architect who has moved to Cairo to open Kowalska Design, a small architecture studio. In one year, several things happen. She arrived on a tourist visa and has been designing a villa for a local developer for pay. She needs the right company form, and plans to sell her design software through a local distributor. She buys a flat under a private unregistered contract, and the seller sells it again. She dismisses an architect, Omar, without a cause. And she marries Karim Mansour, an Egyptian Muslim, while she remains a Polish Catholic, and they have no will. You advise Marta using the course and its three tools. Assume that everything is in Cairo, that Marta is a Polish citizen, that Karim is an Egyptian citizen and that the facts are as stated.
This course explains the law of Egypt, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on the law of Egypt, using invented people and businesses. It states laws and procedures in simplified form and is not legal advice. The law and its practice change, and every case turns on its facts, the authority and the community concerned. It does not offer legal representation or a legal opinion on any case. Consult an Egyptian advocate for any real matter.
This course was written on 5 November 2026. To the best of our knowledge, it describes the law of Egypt as it stood on that date. Laws change, and we may have missed or misunderstood something. If you notice a change, or have other information, please do not hesitate to contact us: we will review it and update the course. We do not claim to be the final source of the law.
