Hi Cathy,
As far as I know with the local knowledge and my experience in Egypt, once your visa expires (the visa you obtain at the airport) , you go to the local visa office and apply for an extension visa up to a year. Normally you will obtain a visa for 3-6 months costing $25. Keep doing this until you been in Egypt for a year. After being in Egypt for a year, you will have to leave Egypt and probably return to Egypt same day or the next day. You will have to repeat the same process as above every time. We are not allowed to stay in Egypt for more than a year, unless we a residency visa which costs too much.
Please let me know if you do not understand the above, I am trying to help you in rush! rush! rush!
Good luck!

Hi Kathy!

I am very happy that you enjoyed your time in my country, Egypt, and you want to come back again :)

Residence visa is very difficult if you are from the United States, as you must have been living in Egypt for several years or have a legal job here.

However, you can travel to any airport in Egypt and request an eVisa valid for 30 days. When your visa expires, go to the visa office of any city (Aswan Visa, Cairo Visa ...) and request an extension of your visa.

The extension will allow you to be in the country between 3 and 12 more months, enough for what you want to do.

I hope I have helped you and that you enjoy my country.

All the best,
Rodolfo.
