Best Answer

The Phoenicians had goods which Egypt wanted - timber, foodstuffs, purple dye, minerals, and had a trading fleet to transport it to them. Phoenicia was also in the carriage-trade business, able to take Egyptian goods far afield around the Mediterranean Sea, giving Egypt extra outlets for its own goods.
