Eh, GINI coefficient is 28.5 according to the World Bank, based on Wikipedia. Egypt isn’t that high globally in terms of income inequality.
That being said, my understanding is that Egypt is a great example of a country with a population density that isn’t, if you look at the country as a whole, all that high…but internal to the country, the population is highly concentrated around a few specific very dense areas. So it might be that wealthy areas are geographically very close to poor areas, and that might be unusual to Egypt.

Yeah, so everyone lives up and down the Nile.

It’s also got a fairly-high population density too, just not top of the shelf there:

Wikipedia ranks it as 99 out of 242 on population density.
