There are two interpretations of this question:
Geographic
Egypt is part of the Arab World AND it is part of the Continent of Africa. However, some parts of Egypt (specifically the Sinai Peninsula) are outside of the Continent of Africa.
Politically/Ethnically
This is a very serious question that has been part of a huge debate in Egyptian Politics. Most Egyptians, especially Islamists, stress an Arab heritage and culture, but a large minority of Egyptians, especially Nationalists, stress a historical connection to the historic Egypt of the Pre-Islamic Era and an endemic connection to Africa.
