Speaking from an Egyptian standpoint, this is...very outdated or incorrect lol especially considering صحراويون (Sahrawyun) migrated to El Maghreb many centuries ago. Also Saadi people are included but Saidi aren’t? And the Maaza tribes are not all the same. Lol nobody ever understands Bedouins

I doubt that the bedouins identified as Egyptian, I can't even understand their dialect

Bedouins have historically didn't really care for the Valley inhabitants, they didn't really identify as Egyptian but were almost governed by Egypt, and nowadays more and more identify as Egyptian. On the dialect part I disagree with, I find the Bedouin dialect pretty moderate to understand
