Caesar was involved with Egypt on several levels. He initially came to Egypt chasing after Pompey. Pompey, however was murdered by the Egyptian king Ptolemy XIII. Caesar decided to mediate between the Egyptian king, Ptolemy, and his exiled sister, Cleopatra. Now, this was not a humanitarian gesture by any means, on Caesar's part. Cleopatra and Ptolemy's father had borrowed heavily from Roman money lenders in order to regain his throne. (he had been usurped). Caesar and Pompey bought up the loan, Therefore, it was in Caesar's interests to have a stable Egypt, one which could repay the vast amount of money owed him. (Since Pompey was dead, the entire sum would have been owed to Caesar.)
