Exodus setting (5)

I believe the answer is:

egypt

(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "Country of pyramids" , "NE African country" , "Republic of North Africa" , "Land of ancient civilisation" , "Nile country" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Wall Street Journal.
