The British did colonize Egypt in 1882 after the Second Anglo-Egyptian War. However, as was typical with Old World British Colonies, the British colonized Egypt indirectly by controlling the previous ruling dynasty (the Khedivites). This allowed that all of the infrastructure previously developed by the Khedivites to be effective in maintaining Law and Order in Egypt.
