This is certainly an interesting discussion and I've not really considered it much. Though I was in a TeamSpeak server chat while playing EU4 and a group of us were discussing this very subject (probably because I was playing Mamluks and someone else was playing Morocco) and people were divided. Culturally I think Egypt is probably more "middle eastern" than African but geographically well, they're part of Africa. I'm not sure how comparable North African Islam is to Middle Eastern Islam, I'm assuming religion and language is what unifies both regions.
But of course, I think "Arab" in the West is more synonymous with the religious, cultural and linguistic properties of people from the middle east and north Africa. I guess maybe that's worth discussing.
