Egypt has all the potential to pull a South Korea/China if they can just get things going for them. It would need to be post Israel-Egypt peace, so post 1979 as Egypt would never be able to attract the necessary FDI while the potential for war was still there.
If Egypt could ask for economic assistance as opposed to military hardware in the Camp David treaty, they could reform the large corrupt bureaucratic nightmare that is everpresent in Egypt, institute subsidy reforms like Sadat tried to do, reform the legal system to allow FDI to come in, increase capital financing to SME's which employ the vast majority of the Egyptian workforce, they could very well undergo a economic miracle.
If it did happen, it would obviously change Middle Eastern politics massively, as large economy, big cultural output in the region plus a strong military for the region would turn Egypt into the regional power.
