To say 'in Egypt', you add the preposition در before the word, resulting in در مصر.

The romanization is Mesr.

If you see the word مصر in an ancient Persian poem, it could mean 'a great metropolis' rather than the country itself.
The word مصر is also related to the Arabic word مُصِرّ, which carries a different meaning involving persistence.
While مصر is the standard name, Persian poets often refer to the Nile river as نیل to evoke the specific landscape of مصر in classical literature.
