Most people in ancient Egypt were uneducated and unable to write anything. The small minority of educated people were taught two systems of writing: for almost all of Egyptian history writing was either in hieroglyphs or in hieratic script (which was a simplified version of hieroglyphs). At the end of ancient Egyptian history demotic script was developed, based on hieratic but much more complex.
By about 300 AD Coptic script was used - this was simply the Greek alphabet with a few additional signs for Egyptian sounds not found in Greek.
The Arabs invaded Egypt in 639 AD, long after the end of ancient Egypt; the Arabs brought Islam and Arabic writing with them and both have been used in Egypt ever since.
So ancient Egyptians could not ever have used Arabic writing.
