UK visit visa: ties to home

I want to apply for a UK visit visa later this year, but i want to ask for advice on smth. I am a 3rd year student in electrical engineering with an internship in progress, a bank account showing savings about 90K egp over along period of time from the internship and monthly allowance from my father, and my military postponement certificate to show a legal obligation to return home as military service is mandatory.

also family ties since i have no friends or family in the UK.

Are these enough to prove intent to return since i have no concrete economic ties? like a job or assets in my name.

note: i can provide documents for all the ties listed above and nothing clashes with one another.

My dad is my sponsor for a UK visitor visa application. He works at General Petroleum Company (GPC) which is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources in Egypt.

Besides his regular GPC salary, he receives additional deposits directly from the Ministry of Petroleum itself. These are clearly labeled on his bank statements as coming from 'Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources' but we have no formal documentation explaining them beyond that label.

We believe they're related to his work given the direct GPC-Ministry relationship but we haven't been able to obtain an official secondment or supplementary income letter.

My questions:

Is the clear label on the statement sufficient?

Should we explain it in the sponsor letter and if so how?

Could this raise flags despite the obvious GPC-Ministry connection?
