You have probably established domicile by living in the US and in a state longer than 6 months. Go to a local attorney in the state you are in to file a divorce. Do not try to do so yourself. Make sure you have a valid address to obtain service over your husband in Egypt.

File your case in the USA, serve him the papers in Egypt.

It does not matter where the marriage takes place. Since your husband lives outside of the United States, and you are a lawful resident of the State in which you reside, you can file and obtain your divorce in your home state. You will be required to properly serve your husband as required by law. You should retain an attorney to represent you in this divorce action to avoid any complications or delays.
