Perhaps you could have a look around for some kind of knick knack made by a local artisan. Something like hand-made place-mats and napkins or candles are nice. Something for the whole family that might be nice is a hand-crafted chess set. I have seen some nice ones around. Wouldn't mind getting one myself.

How exciting for you to be going to Egypt to meet your boyfriend's family! Hope you have a really nice time.

While apparently it's not a custom to give a hostess gift there, like it is here, I still want to bring something for her, for putting up with a weird American for a week or so. :-)
