There is no record of Egypt specifically fighting Greece. Greece was not a country, just a collection of independent city states.

Athens did intervene in a civil war in the mid 5th Century BCE, and Alexander did capture Egypt in the 4th Century when it was part of the Persian Empire. After Alexander, his general Ptolemy set himself up as king of Egypt, and he and his successors fought with others of Alexanders successors over territory in Palestine, Syria and Asia Minor.

But nothing so simplistic as a non-existent Egyptian-Greek war.
