Ray, I think that you should consult your references, or - visit Siwa as I did. Yes, Berbers are predominant in western parts in Sahara, and Siwa is only Berber oasis in Egypt.

Indigenous Arab people who inhabit this regions' dessets (i.e., Egypt) are BEDOINS. Berbers are most in Morroco & West Africa.
