Egypt, in northeastern Africa, is a country steeped in magical history. When Ron travels there with his family, he relays stories of unbelievable curses the old Egyptian wizards put on tombs, and Hermione calls the ancient wizards "fascinating" (PA1). Even in more recent times, Elphias Doge's around-the-world tour upon leaving Hogwarts included a stop to see the Egyptian alchemists (DH2).

Bill Weasley worked as a curse breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Egypt before taking a desk job in London instead in OP4. It was while Bill was working in Egypt that the entire Weasley family visited him and toured the pyramids (PA1).

Phoenixes and the sphinx are also native to Egypt (FB).
