TL;DR
Yes, travelers commonly pack mangoes in checked luggage from Egypt, but the fruit weight counts toward your regular baggage allowance (rules vary by airline), and customs may occasionally check for them.

Rules depend on the airline — some include fruit in the total baggage or carry-on weight/volume, so it's best to check your specific carrier's policy. One traveler always packs mangoes in checked luggage (23 kg allowance), and the fruit survives two connecting flights home fine.
