Mainly, I think taking care of Egypt and not let the country fall. You would have to be able to empress the citizens and make sure how they would want Egypt to become. Most of the time pharaohs try to make relationships with other countries.
Egypt has some major natural features that made it able to survive. This is because of the desert which provided protection from invaders along with the Nile river that gave them fertile soil.
Menes was the first king or pharaoh of ancient Egypt. He founded a dynasty of eight pharaohs. He reigned for over sixty years and his crowning achievement was the development of the city of Memphis. There is some dispute as to who Menes actually was. Historians are divided on whether Menes was actually Narmer or if he was Hor-Aha, both are credited with the unification of Egypt.
The Nile was like a highway because you could easily trade between upper and lower Egypt on the newly invented boats. It is also very fertile, allowing stops along the way. It was the best and fastest way to travel back then.
Battering rams were considered one of the strongest siege weapons, able to break down doors almost effortlessly. If rams were used in ancient Egypt, then they would have been used as heavy siege weapons.
Kashta saw his weakness and invaded Egypt. By about 750 B.C. Kashta's armies took over Egypt.

Narmer also known as Menes ruled upper Egypt and was able to control lower Egypt and unite them both.
Egypt never was able to press control further east than the upper Levant (Lebanon and Syria). They never controlled Mesopotamia.
kush was able to conquer by taking control of them
There were few advantages either side had, but it was mostly trading. Upper Egypt had access to the sea, and was able to trade with plenty of other nations. Lower Egypt, however, had acess to Nubia, which the primary source of slaves, ivory and other commodities for Egypt. Also, Upper Egypt had a more secluded location, which meant less enemies to fight from the border. Lower Egypt was situated next to multiple African enemies.

The only territory that has been under the control of all three of those empires (Kush, Assyria, and Persia) at some time in their histories is EGYPT, not Sudan. Assyria was never able to penetrate beyond Upper Egypt, meaning that they never controlled Sudan.
The Egyptians needed stronger leadership to thwart an Assyrian invasion.....
They were able to seize control because they had the support of Greek farmers, merchants and artisans, who were sick and tired of being exploited - the tyrants were appointed to bring in rule for all, not just the upper class.
