Having been to Egypt once - I too would question why someone would be obsessed with it. However yes I think this person is - as many people do get obsessed either by their own country or about the myth or reality of another country.
No doubt, Egypt does have amazing history which has fascinated many people around the world for centuries. Many of the tombs are still there which are many centuries (even thousands of years) older than anything comparable in Europe. And because of this, the desert, the Nile etc - there is a sense of mystery and romance here which this person has fallen in love with.
Funny how she doesn't mention the street-traders hassling for custom though. Or the Cairo pollution. Or the Mummy Tummy;)
