This entirely depends on the time period. In the Ancient Period all the way up to the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty (roughly 3500 years of history from about 3500 B.C.E. to 30 B.C.E.), the Egyptian Rulers were called "Pharaohs" (Fair-row).
After this point, Egypt would not become the seat of government until the creation of the Fatimid Caliphate over 900 years later. The Egyptian Rulers of this state were called "Caliphs" (Kay-liff).
After the fall of the Fatimids, Egypt became a Mamluk State ruled by "Sultans" (Sull-tin). The Mamluks were eventually overthrown by the Ottomans and they set up a governate in Egypt that became autonomous and later independent. These governors retained the name "Sultan" as well.
After the fall of the Khedivite Sultanate (the sultanate installed by the Ottomans) the Modern Kingdom of Egypt received independence from its British supervisors with a "King" identified with that exact title. The Kingdom of Egypt lasted until 1954 when Gamal Abdel Nasser led a Revolution to overthrow the monarchy.
Although Egypt's dictators have all lasted beyond their tenures, they are not considered kings as their rule is not hereditarily based.
