Can anyone explain that?
There is a bug in the online booking tool which causes flights ending in a different country within the middle east to price at the price for the ending location rather then the start.
An ex-CAI ticket should price at the Egypt price, but it's showing an ex-UAE price.
The buggy tool is one reason many people have been trying to locate other ways to ticket their xONEx's trips offline (often from outside the departing country).
You may need to find an agent in Egypt who will issue the booking and accept payment from outside Egypt.
