<issue_description>### Issue Type

Missing Data (missing city/state/country)

Location (if applicable)

Cities

What's wrong?

Some cities have incorrect names or are missing from the 'Egypt Cities' data.
For example, the Cairo state is missing some cities, such as Nasr City, Obour City, Cairo Downtown, Zamalek, Rehab and so on.

What should it be?

Missing data should be added.

I think this repository would be a good source for validating the missing data. It may also be missing some data, or it may not be updated with the latest versions, but I think it contains more accurate data than is available now.
