Egypt was not at war with Israel (in a de facto sense) in 1966. Egypt was at war with Israel de jure because it did not acknowledge its Right to Exist.
Egypt was preparing to invade Israel in late 1966 and early 1967. It is very likely that Egypt would have invaded in late 1967, if Israel did not launch a preventative strike to cripple the Egyptian Air Force, beginning the Six Day War.

President Sadat of Egypt declared war on Israel in 1973 in order to conquer Israel or at least recover the lands lost in the Six-Day War of 1967: the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip. It can be considered a failure for the Egyptians as neither of those objectives was met, even partially.
Are there any wars going on in Egypt?
During the 20th century, Egypt fought in the 1967 (Six Day War) against Israel (and was embarrassingly defeated); Egypt regained it's lost honor when in 1973 (Yom Kipper War-which also started America's first "real" gasoline crisis-prices went from 29 cents a gallon to $1.00 a gallon OVER-NITE) Egypt successfully attacked Israel again, this time armed with the relatively new Sagger wire guided anti-tank missile (which successfully made it's debut in Vietnam in 1972 against M48 Patton tanks). Israel was COMPLETELY taken off guard and suffered greatly. The US had to quickly send over M60 Combat Tanks (MBT-Main Battle tanks) and a batch of F4 Phantoms to replace Israel's losses. After about 3 months of fighting, Israel finally gained the upper hand and the Egyptians withdrew back into their territory. But the Egyptians fought a lot better this time than they did in the Six Day War; the whole world was surprised at the Egyptian's success on the battlefield...and Israel learned a valuable lesson (an old lesson); never underestimate the enemy.

What happened in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956?
The basic synopsis of the 1956 Arab-Israeli War would be to say that President Nasser of Egypt was planning to nationalize the Suez Canal, which heretofore was controlled by the British and the French. When Egypt forced the Britons and French out militarily and secured the canal, they asserted the right to choose which boats could go through and which could not. This was an abrogation of the Suez Canal's neutrality (all canals are neutral). Since Egypt opposed Israel, they banned Israeli ships. Therefore, Britain, France, and Israel all lost out due to this new arrangement that Egypt set up and declared war to achieve the pre-Nationalization status quo. Israel conquered the entire Sinai Peninsula, but gave it back to Egypt with assurances that the Suez Canal would be neutral again.
Why did Egypt not occupy Israel after the Yom Kippur War since Egyptians say they won?
Yes, I understand your surprise, I also could not understand why, if Egyptians, as they say, defeated Israel in the Yom Kippur war, didn´t they just go and occupy Israel instead of sending the hysterical urgent telegram to the US and the USSR government, asking them to stop the Israeli offensive, and then signing the Armistice just 100 km from the capital of Egypt, instead of imposing their terms on the "defeated" Jews. The truth is that Egypt did not occupy Israel because Jews defeated Egypt, because Egyptian Third Army was "pocketed", because Egypt did not have any troops left, because Israeli tanks were 100 km from Cairo with no Egyptian troops before them, and the Israeli tanks could cover these 100 km in less than 3 hours. In attempt to save their national pride, Egyptians tell they started the war to get Sinai back, and as they got it back- then it means they won the war. But the truth is that Egypt got Sinai back only in 1982, i.e. 9 years after the Yom Kippur War, and only after Anvar Saddat came to Jerusalem and signed the peace treaty. Of course, if Egypt really won the Yom Kippur war, it would take Sinai back immediately and would not sign any peace treaty. The reaon why he did it was evident: Israel defeated Egypt and Saddat could not hope to get Sinai back without complying to Israel´s terms. And the terms were very simple: Sinai in exchange for peace treaty and leaving Sinai demilitarized area where Egypt could not deploy troops without Israel´s permission.
