Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Ethiopia, a yellow fever certificate is required: WHO lists Ethiopia as a transmission risk.
Driving on a Ethiopia license
Egypt and Ethiopia are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Ethiopia is one Egypt is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
