there are Black ethnic groups indigenous to Egypt, too. for example, there is a Nubian population. there are also some Egyptian Arabs who have descent from other African cultures but whose ancestors 'Arabized' culturally and linguistically. all over former territories of the Ottoman Empire and other Islamic states, there are also descendants of Africans who were taken into slavery, just like African-Americans, although these populations usually make up a smaller part of the population than in the US. but it is also possible, like you say, that his ancestors are more recent migrants to the country.
