Byzantine empire keep egypt

Do you mean what if the Byzantines never lose Egypt, or what if they retake it and how does that influence the crusades? If the Byzantines never lose Egypt there are no crusades.
 
seems too hard. If it were that easy, wouldn't they have tried several times before?
They did.I recall there were several attempts in the 7th century after Egypt was already overrun to reconquer it.They even recaptured Alexandria on one occasion in 645.

There were also several Coptic revolts, a notable one being the Bashmurian revolt in 832.
