A quick search for "Egypt" and "Pyramid" in our Disney comics database
results in the following stories:
- Uncle Scrooge (DuckTales), "The Puzzle of the Lost Pyramid" (4 pages)
in Uncle Scrooge #266
- Donald Duck, "The Mysterious Pyramid" (8 pages) in Donald Duck #79, reprinted
in Donald Duck #200
(writer Vic Lockman, artist Tony Strobl, inker Steve Steere)
- Donald Duck, title unknown ("Pyramid Panic") (14 pages) in Donald Duck #108
(artist Strobl)
- Uncle Scrooge, untitled (5 3/4 pages) in Uncle Scrooge #25, reprinted in
Uncle Scrooge #151, and (titled "US in Egypt") in Uncle Scrooge #255
(writer and artist Carl Barks)
The pyramid stories could also be about Aztec pyramids, I guess.
There are several other desert stories, not necessarily set in Egypt.
(Uncle Scrooge "Pipeline to Danger" in US #30 ? Is that Egypt?
"The Mines of King Solomon"? I must admit my geographic knowledge is
not what it should be about this part of the world...)
And from my memory the following:
- Donald Duck, "The Crocodile Collector" (18 pages) in Donald Duck Adventures
[Gladstone] #8
(writer and artist Don Rosa)
That's all I can think of now!

"Tell Benny it's a *crocodile* I need!"
