I assume you’ve probably encountered Juan Cole’s “Napoleon’s Egypt” and Paul Strathern’s “Napoleon in Egypt.” I would double check their citations of primary source materials.

Another good place to check for primary source links or citations would be the volume of essays edited by Irene Bierman, “Napoleon in Egypt.” I think those might also be of great use as it presents the perspectives of a multitude of scholars (including the two mentioned at the top).

One idea would be to check out Al-Jabartï’s Chronicle of the French Invasion. There are a few translations and versions of that floating around out there.
