Ok, I found your flight, EWR-MUC-CAI with United lie flat for $1,421, with 13-hour layover in MUC, so you skip the last leg and likely you get your luggage with you easily with the 13-hour layover...(but you should double check that)....
One way to Cairo | Google Flights
Even better, with clean stopover at MUC....
