Someone on the ground in Egypt may be well-placed to provide more conclusive
feedback here.

I was unable to find a definitive list of license holders on NTRA's web site
- http://www.tra.gov.eg/english/Main.asp - and other random resources with
this information online may not necessarily be current.

Having said that, once you locate suitable providers, be sure to use tools
like RIPE RIS's BGPlay:

http://www.ris.ripe.net/bgplay/

It'll help you map out, pictorially, to which other AS's those ISP's are
connected (assuming the prefix you're tracking is being announced to all
their upstreams/peers). 
There are other ways to get this information, too, as others may likely
suggest.

Cheers,

Mark.
