With checked baggage it could be difficult. You need a visa and to clear immigration to access the baggage carousel to claim your baggage.

With current security in Cairo, I'm not sure the ground staff will do that for you. There is a transit option to bypass immigration, but then what about your checked luggage?

Check in for QR closes 1 hour before departure, so you might just make it in 30 min. But I'm not sure about your plan. From the EK forum I know people have successfully done what you propose, but without checked baggage. I've only done it with checked baggage and I took the morning arrival and evening departure, which is what you say costs double.
