Yeah there's not much of a single concrete answer to this. Geographically it's north Africa and that's pretty unambiguous. Their cultural ties to the Arab peninsula and Persian plateau are significant, but the same could be said for their interactions with the Maghrebi nations in NW Africa.
There's also a pretty strong argument to be made that Egypt is a monolith between the two regions. Human civilization in Egypt predates that in the Maghreb region, and most of the middle east with the exception of Mesopotamia. And Egyptian borders have been remarkably consistent throughout that time (Though often as an administrative subdivision of a larger government, like the Abbasid Caliphate or Ottoman Empire). There's a pretty strong national identity of Egypt that is very separate from its neighbors.
No, my geography textbook had a list of regions, and for homework I would copy from there. I group my countries. It is clear that Cuba and Haiti should be in one subgroup, and Russia and Ukraine - in another, and before Egypt, this, if one may say so, work was going smoothly.
And returning from homework help to our regular programming.

If I were to say to you, "can you keep a secret?" Would you know just what to do or where to keep it? Then I say, "I love you", foul the situation Hey girl, I thought we were the right combination
Who broke my heart, you did, you did Bow to the target, blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart, stupid, stupid
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow
No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums Love on arrival, she comes when she comes Right on the target but wide of the mark What I thought was fire was only the spark
The sweetest melody is an unheard refrain So lower your sights, yeah But raise your aim, raise your aim
Who broke my heart, you did, you did Bow to the target, blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart, stupid, stupid
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow
I thought you loved me, but it seems you don't care [Karen Clayton:] I care enough to know I can never love you
Who broke my heart, you did, you did Bow to the target, blame Cupid You think you're smart, that's stupid Right from the start when you knew we would part
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow Shoot that poison arrow to my heart, heart, heart Shoot that poison arrow
Heart, shoot that poison arrow Shoot that poison arrow
Programmes of violence, As entertainment, Brings the disease into your room. We know the germ, Which is man-made in metal, Is really a key to your own tomb.
Prevention is better than cure, Bad apples affecting the pure, You'll gather your senses I'm sure Then agree to,
Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more desire them.
Children will want them, Mothers supply them, As long as your killers are heroes. And all the media Will fiddle while Rome burns, Acting like modern-time Neros.
Prevention is better than cure, Bad apples affecting the pure, You'll gather your senses I'm sure Then agree to,
Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more desire them.
I'm speaking to the Justice League of America. The U S of A, Hey you, Yes you in particular! When it comes to the judgement day and you're standing at the gates with your weaponry, You dead go down on one knee, Clasp your hands in prayer and start quoting me, 'cause we say...
Our father we've managed to contain the epidemic in one place, now, Let's hope they shoot themselves instead of others, Help to civilize the race now. We've trapped the cause of the plague, In the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we listen quietly we can hear them shooting from grave to grave.
You ought to, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more to fire them.
Melt the guns, Melt the guns, Melt the guns, And never more desire them.
Last one from me tonight. Where does that highway go to?

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?" And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Water dissolving and water removing There is water at the bottom of the ocean Under the water, carry the water Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean Water dissolving and water removing
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, into the silent water Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Leting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?" You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?" And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?" And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, into the silent water Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, look where my hand was Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (I couldn't get no rest) Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs Here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was) Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was) Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well, another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about ev'rything This city desert makes you feel so cold It's got so many people, but it's got no soul And it's taken you so long To find out you were wrong When you thought it held everything You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're tryin', you're tryin' now Another year and then you'd be happy Just one more year and then you'd be happy But you're cryin', you're cryin' now Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about ev'rything But you know he'll always keep movin' You know he's never gonna stop movin' 'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone When you wake up, it's a new mornin' The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin' You're goin', you're goin' home

Oh, don't it hurt deep inside To see someone do something to her Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry Oh, especially when someone is her
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep Even though there is nowhere to go How could she tell? He deceived her so well Pity she'll be the last one to know
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
How many times did she fall for his lies? Should I tell her or should I keep cool? And if I tried I know she'll say I lied Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see But my eyes still see, but my eyes still see
Holdin' me back Gravity's holdin' me back I want you to hold out the palm of your hand Why don't we leave it at that? Nothin' to say When everything gets in the way Seems you cannot be replaced And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh In this world, it's just us You know it's not the same as it was In this world, it's just us You know it's not the same as it was As it was, as it was You know it's not the same Answer the phone Harry, you're no good alone Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
