When you get to Aswan,Egypt border,just ask for TIP (temporary Import paper)
May take you few days(took me 3 days back in December 2012)
Be very patient,polite and smile.
They will try to sell (bogus Egypt carnet)don't buy it! Ask for TIP
I payed for "TIP"refundable $800usd,which I got back in Taba border with Israel,make sure in Taba you stay there until you get your refund,they will try to send you to another border with near by Jordan( you won't get your refund there)
In Aswan ,border when you get off from ferry ,There is a lot of place for bush camp,walking distance.
Just cross train tracks and head for desert ( I camp there 7days waiting for cargo boat with my motorbike)
In Aswan city,take train or taxi,you could stay( for free)at Catholic Church near Mc Donald's,super friendly Italian fathers allow me to stay for x-mass in their garden,very save in the middle city, hot shower too.
I'm not sure about your future plans but don't miss Israel,I could give some great tips there.
