Questions

What is the country code for Egypt?

Egypt's country calling code is +20. In E.164 — the format almost every API, SMS gateway and CRM expects — it is written with no spaces, brackets or dashes, like +201001234567.

How many digits is a Egypt phone number?

10 digits after the +20 country code. Written nationally it may show a leading 0 trunk prefix, which is dropped in international form.

Does the leading 0 get included when dialling Egypt from abroad?

No. The 0 is a national trunk prefix used only inside Egypt. Dialling internationally you drop it and use +20 instead — this is the single most common cause of "invalid number" errors in signup forms.

Is a correctly formatted number the same as a real one?

No, and conflating the two is the usual mistake. Formatting only says a number could exist. It does not say whether the range was ever allocated, whether it is mobile, fixed line or VoIP, or whether it is worth trusting on a signup — those need a lookup against numbering-plan data.
