I read the cancel on this Egyptian stamp as being "HAI EL ARAB". Haven't found an Egyptian Hai el Arab in my sources, but they indicate one in Sudan. Could this Egyptian stamp have been posted from what was then the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan? My thanks in advance for any help on this. Happy New Year!
I don't see why it couldn't have been Hai el Arab (a neighborhood in Khartoum, Sudan), since Fuad I (pictured on the stamp) was formally "Sultan of Egypt and Sudan," and as you said, being Anglo-anything meant it was ultimately up to the British to decide what as permissible or not.
