Yeah, the whole thing is complicated by the fact that there's a UK edition and a US edition. The UK edition (9781405357876) has it spelled "EGYPT", with a slightly different photo. That seems to be consistent across all the sites I've looked at, although there might be one I haven't caught somewhere. The US edition (9780756669782) is correct on Barnes and Noble's site, as well as Powell's.
So the error does look local to Amazon and its affiliated companies, like Book Depository.
bedfull_o_books says that Amazon is very bad about updating anything. They may have gotten an early version with the typo and never corrected it when the publisher sent an update, unlike B&N and Powell's. (Note: She is not speaking as an employee of the publishing group, merely as an observer over my shoulder.)
