TL;DR
Yes — local Egyptian mango has been available for about 5-6 years and is noticeably sweeter and juicier than mango from the Dominican Republic or Asia, with a wide variety of types to try.
What the community said
Mango only started being grown in Egypt about 5-6 years ago — before that it wasn't available locally. Now the harvest is good.

The main advantage of Egyptian fruit is taste and ripeness. Imported fruit sold elsewhere around September is decent, but doesn't match the variety of sorts and flavors you get in Egypt.
