Inheritance tax and law
Inheritance tax was abolished in Egypt in 1996.
A flat rate of 2.5% of the gross proceeds is levied on sales of real estate or building sites, within the boundaries of Egyptian cities. This tax applies even on transfers of property to spouses, descendants, and ancestors.

We can try, though getting information from Saudi is always difficult. We have written to several lawyers, but none has so far shown enthusiasm.
