It was partly do to the glory Julius needed to win over the remainder of the senate to his side. When Egypt killed Pompey, it may have made him look weak.
Pompey is not a place, he was a political rival of Caesar who died in Egypt long before Caesar's assasination. It's possible you were thinking of Pompeii, but Caesar was not killed there, either. He was killed in the Senate building on March 15, 44 B.C. The conspirators who killed him were a group of Senators. Brutus, once a close ally of Caesars', was the most famous assasin. Cassius Longingus was another famous assasin, and a senator who was involved in the plot.
Julius Caesar had girl friends all over the empire, but at the time of his death two women were predominant, they were Cleopatra of Egypt and Servilia Caepionis.
After they removed the trophies from Caesar's statues they chastised the common men. They pointed out that once these same men celebrate Pompey (whose death Caesar's perusal of Egypt led to) in the same way.
The commoners, never wanting to miss a chance for a day off work and a party, are celebrating the defeat of the sons of Pompey by Caesar. The tribunes are angry because this is a civil war and those that died in it were Romans, and therefore no reason to celebrate.

Pompey was defeated by Julius Caesar in Italy and again at Pharsalus in 48 BC. He escaped to Egypt but was killed there by order of Roman Dominated Egyptian Government.
Julius Caesar only killed Gaius Pompey, one of Pompey's sons. This was after the Battle of Munda in 45 BC which finally brought the civil war to an end. Pompey himself was murdered in Egypt. His remaining son, Sextus Pompey, was murdered in the mideast, by Marc Antony's commander, some say on orders from Antony, although Antony denied responsibility.

Caesar did not do anything to Pompey. He pardoned his enemies when they were defeated. He had tried to negotiate with Pompey before he fled to Greece, but Pompey refused. After the defeat at the battle of Pharsalus, Pompey fled to Egypt. The pharaoh Ptolemy XIII was advised to kill Pompey because Caesar was heading for Egypt in his pursuit. His head and ring were presented to Caesar who got very upset and mourned his death. He had the assassins executed. He had Pompey cremated and gave his ashes to his wife.

Pompey the Great was betrayed stabbed to death in 48 BC by Achillas (one of the guardians of the king of Egypt, Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator, and commander of the king's troops) Septimius, a Roman soldier. After he was defeated by Julius Caesar, Pompey fled to Egypt hoping to find sanctuary there because he had been friends with the previous king of Egypt, Ptolemy XII Auletes.

Caesar was disgusted and put the assassins to death.

Pompey was a general and statesman who won fame in Africa and Sicily before allying with Julius Caesar and Marcus Crassus to form the First Triumvirate. He also famously claimed to have defeated Spartacus' rebellion when he in fact played a smaller part. When Crassus was killed in battle against Parthians, the triumvirate was broken and Pompey maneuvered to gain legal advantage over Caesar in the ensuing power struggle. Pompey was Caesar's adversary when the latter crossed the Rubicon and began Civil War. At the Battle of Pharsalus Pompey's larger army was defeated by Caesar after which Pompey fled to Egypt where he was assassinated.
Julius Caesar knew Pompey from their activities in politics and the military. Both were very famous public figures and they were bound to know each other in ancient Rome. Pompey also married Caesar's daughter so he was Caesar's son-in-law. After the First Triumvirate fell apart, Caesar and Pompey became enemies for control of the Roman empire. Eventually Caesar's legions were victorious and Pompey was murdered in Alexandria where he had sought refuge. Caesar was aghast at the murder and did his best to kill everyone in Egypt who was involved. Pompey lived on however in Roman history. Caesar respected Pompey. Later in the empire when Hadrian was the emperor, he paid a visit to Pompey's tomb in Alexandria. He saw that it was not being preserved in a respectable way and ordered that the tomb be revitalized.
Julius Caesar traveled to Egypt to chase his enemy Pompey. Caesar fought Pompey in a civil war.Caesar was involved with Egypt on several levels. Most people focus on his relationship with Cleopatra and exclude his other Egyptian involvements. He did follow Pompey to Egypt, but not entirely to accept Pompey's surrender. Ptolemy XII, (Cleopatra's father) had been ousted from Egypt and wanted his throne back. In order to get it back he had to pay off many Romans to get their support and consequently ran up a massive debt to Roman money lenders. Caesar and Pompey bought up the debt, and with the death of Ptolemy XII, Caesar wanted to see about his money. He also consulted with the Egyptian astronomers on his restructuring of the calendar. He also had to fight the Alexandrian war after trouble with Ptolemy XIII.
