Answer 2

GPS is available for the Military only in Egypt, it is currently illegal and you will probably not recieve a signal.

They are working though on revoking that law, and i'm pretty sure within the next 5-8 years we will have GPS available...

Answer 3

GPS satellites are able to provide navigation information to anywhere in the world as far as I understand or at least where I have been I have not seen a drop in coverage. From what I was able to find there are 30 in operation and I don't see a reason as to why they will not cover Egypt

EDIT

Wow you learn something new every day

While it is illegal to purchase any GPS device without a license inside Egypt, it is perfectly legal for tourists to bring to Egypt any GPS device that they have bought outside Egypt. These are deemed to be personal articles that are not subject to Egypt’s communication law and therefore they do not require a license!

Egypt is one of only two countries in the world, (the other is Syria), that do not allow the possession of GPS devices without government permission. In Egypt the regulatory body is the NTRA, Egypt's National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority. NTRA cannot grant such permission without approval from the military authorities. The military authorities, so far, are reluctant to do so.

While there is nothing in Egypt’s telecommunication laws that prohibits the acquisition of GPS equipment, nor is there any explicit mention of any license requirements, it is the accepted view that the acquisition of any GPS devices in Egypt requires a license from the NTRA.

The prohibition on GPS hardware is not applicable to GPS software. It is perfectly legal to purchase, sell, exchange or download any GPS software.

To more directly answer your question yes they do orbit Egypt however you are not able to buy a GPS device while in Egypt
