Read about the typical weather and climate in Egypt.
Most of Egypt lies within the Sahara desert.  Egypt is not surprisingly one of the hottest and driest countries on Earth. Because so much of the country is uninhabitable, we don't really know the hottest temperature ever in Egypt -- because probably nobody was there with scientific instruments to measure it.
That said, temperatures of 55° C (132°F) have been measured in parts of the Sahara in the past.  So this may be your answer.
It is not unusual for summer temperatures in Aswan (a city far inland in Egypt) to reach 107°F (42° C).  Other inland towns have records of reaching 46°C (114°F).  In Cairo (in the relatively cool coastal zone), temps typically reach 35°C (95°F) in summer.  The highest ever recorded temperature for Cairo is 47.8� C (118°F).
