In mythology, I believe the phoenix is fromthe mediterranean part of africa, so
egypt wouldn't be far from tradition on this.
However, I think there are more phoenixes than Fawkes around - mr ollivander
mentions that they use phoenix tail feathers in his wands, and Harry "tries on" at
least one other wand with phoenix feather - it's a maple one. "Seven inches. Quite
whippy."
