Although Doctor Who was not shown on television in Egypt, it's possible the second of the two Peter Cushing Dalek movies was seen there.
The only evidence this might be the case is the existence of an "Affiche de Film" movie poster. Although it was found in Syria, this type of cloth poster art was also common in Egypt, and therefore may have originated from there.
See the profile on Syria for more details.
