Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Russia, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Russia as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Russia license
Egypt and Russia are both party to the 1949 Geneva Convention & 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Russia 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.
