According to The Bible, the Egyptians suffered TEN PLAGUES (blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, cattle disease, boils, hail, locusts, complete darkness, and death of the firstborn).
In the Exodus, Moses brought the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought ten plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12).
Egypt's turmoil is borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.
After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.

If you are asking about of the first 9 plagues in the Bible - they all took place in Egypt, as well as the 10th plague which was the final plague unleashed on the Egyptians which caused the Pharaoh to release the Israelites.

Archaeology is a science, and archaeologists say that the ten plagues never happened. So the rational and scientific explanation is that there never were the ten plagues of Egypt. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened [allowing for those scholars who accept no evidence contrary to a literal reading of the Bible].
