Medieval Egyptian folklore was one of three distinct layers of storytelling which were incorporated into the Nights by the 15th century, the other two being ancient Indian and Persian folklore, and stories from Abbasid-era Baghdad.
Keskaegne Egiptuse folkloor oli üks kolmest jutuvestmise kihist, mis koguti 15. sajandil "Tuhande ja ühe öö" kogumikku; teised kaks oli India ja Pärsia rahvaluule ning lood Abbasiidide ajastu Bagdadist.
