If you buy the card and box in the UK it is a very good idea to register the card while you are still in the UK, rather than taking to it Egypt where you risk missing the registration signal because of a weak signal. If you don’t plan on installing the setup in the UK then if you know someone with Sky you could just hook the box to their dish and register it, as long as all the channels you pay for become available it will be ok to disconnect it again.
Then in Egypt when you have the dish set up, yes all you need to do is connect the box, but rather than watch all the channels, watch all the channels that you can receive. For example there will be very little chance of receiving Astra2D there, so that means no BBC & ITV and some of the north beam channels may be difficult to receive even on a dish that size.
Also what box are you thinking of getting? Some are much better for weak signals (like the Pace 2600 and Amstrad 400) than others (like the Panasonic 50 which should be avoided)
