Egypt supposedly has one of the highest deposit ratios of all. As far as I know the carnet system still operates on a cartel arrangement that forbids issuers from supplying any nationality that has their own issuer unless they can get a letter of no objection. For a while after the UK issuer dropped out of the race and the Canadian mob did likewise, ADAC were being very obliging, but I think is is all back to (ab)normal again now This means the RAA and NRMA et al in Australia may be your first port of call for info.
BTW Dan Grec (?? Hope I have it right) who posts in quite a few fora including this one, is running around Africa determined to get into all his planned countries without a Carnet and he has succeeded so far although he is a way off reaching Egypt which should be the most difficult test.
