OpenStreetMap will technically work in Egypt. I seem to remember it being one of the countries that doesn't allow people to use GPSes, although it may just be visitors to the country that they don't alllow.
So if the map looks a bit bare, that will explain why it hasn't been started. But if it is okay, go ahead and get started, we need it!

There used to be laws against GPS use in Egypt, but those have been lifted. Some parts of the country are very well covered by OSM (Cairo, for example), but there is a lot more that can be done.
I'd be really pleased to see some more Egypt mappers :)
Cheers, Joseph
