Honestly, I found Egypt already near impossible on DG; every time you need money or expansion, those incredible horders of Barbarians show up, killing either a substantial number of units, or your entire treasure.
Deity with Phoenicians or Hittites seemed by far easier to me.
Did you try other Civs so far?
Hard to tell what king of tips you want, since we know nothing about your skills.
And welcome to CFC!

Thank you for the welcome. Well, my skill level is decent, I just finished beating the comp on Sid level playing WWII in the Pacific, but I really wanted to beat Mesopotamia as Egypt, as that is my ethnic background. By the way, the Egypt UU is horrible.

Yep, the War Chariot may be the most useless UU of them all. I really don't like it how the tech evolution goes too fast. Really makes some eras and ages last over span of time way too short.
I have asked it in another thread but with no answer: Will increasing the amount of game turns make research take more turns too? How does the whole thing affect balance? Does it take longer to build units too (making the difference slightly more marginal)?

Winning WW2 on Sid, especially with Japan, is hardly comparable to the other Conquests, not to speak of the epic game. A decent Emperor player should be able to do that.
That said, better try Mesopotamia at DG/Deity; easily possible that no one ever won with Egypt on Sid.
Egyptian UU horrible? Look at the Hittite one
Strategy tips...dunno.
I really tried hard to beat the Scenario with Egypt at Emperor for some time a year ago (when I had won with all other Civs at Emp/DG, even with the Medeans and only a single Wonder), but didn't manage it until recently. Surprisingly, the most important thing I learned from watching the AI Egptians - immediately settle the Southern edges of the map, or there will always spawn Barbs every couple of turns...
But nevertheless, Egypt above Monarch is one of the most 'painful' and unfun Civs in any of the Conquests at all. Try Phoenicians, Hitites or Mycenae at a decent level first.
@Lennon:
Increasing the # of turns will do exactly that, and nothing else. You'd have to mod that accordingly.
