The Jaririya is a Sufi order and one of the largest Sufi orders in North Sinai, Egypt. It is named for its founder, Sheikh Eid Abu Jarir, a member of the Sawarka tribe's Jarira clan, who established the order in Sinai in the 1940s near the clan's home around Bir al-Abed. The order maintains roughly 130 affiliated mosques in Egypt and traces its own spiritual lineage through other Sufi traditions.

Almost all traditional Sufi orders trace their "chains of transmission" back to the Prophet via his cousin and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib (except the Naqshbandi order which traces its origin to caliph Abu Bakr ).
