As Kate said, checking who is active in the area is a good start if 
there's no suitable local mailing list. (It is sometimes not entirely 
clear which medium a given national OSM community prefers - some prefer 
using the forum, some might even have their own Facebook group or 
something so the absence of an active talk-xx list doesn't mean there's 
nobody talking.)

This page lists the top overall contributors in Egypt:

Many of them will probably be "armchair mappers" or importers themselves 
without their feet on the ground in the region but you can easily check 
individual users with

http://yosmhm.neis-one.org/

to see if their work is really Egypt specific or if they're active 
everywhere.

Bye
Frederik
