We were in Egypt end October and not a mosquito in sight.
That said, some Travel Medical Clinics or physicians specializing in Tropical Diseases might recommend Malaria precautions for Egypt. However, I haven't heard of anyone traveling here to have taken Malaria Meds; besides the mosquitos here are not the same ones that cause all the problems in other parts of Africa.
Once you have the information discuss with a physician who specializes in Tropical Diseases - ymost general practicioners aren't current on these issues.
Check the government site for travelers (sorry don't have it available) and select info on Malaria and the country you'll be visiting and the meds recommended or not.
