You would assume theses cases wouldn't just stop at the Egyptian border.

Follow the Nile.

Thanks for the insightful map.

Agreed that H5N1 doesn't recognize political boundaries. The Egypt map is a little misleading since a high percentage of the population lives in governorates that straddle the Nile River.
Old data from: http://www.fao.org/docrep/V8260B/V8260B0p.htm

Total population is about 62 million (1994), of which 56% is rural, with annual demographic growth estimated at 2.3%. Average population density is 62/km?, but ranges from 2/km? over 96% of the total area, to 1 492/km? in the Nile valley and delta. This area, where population density is among the highest in the world, is only 4% of the total area.
