You can file in the State and County where you reside. You would have to legally service the summons and Petition on your husband to get the divorce here. There are different rules for service of process in different countries that need to be reviewed.

Yes, you can. You can file for divorce where you have been a resident for at least six months. Your biggest problem will be getting him personally served wit papers in Egypt but it can be done. You should be able to get it accomplished.
