Yes, ancient Egypt did expand westward, particularly during the New Kingdom period (c. 1550–1070 BCE). Pharaohs like Thutmose III and Ramses II launched military campaigns into territories in the western desert and into parts of Nubia, as well as the Levant. However, their primary focus was often on the east and south rather than extensive western conquests. The western expansions were limited and more about securing trade routes than establishing permanent control.
