See UK Gov travel advice page.

Here is Turkey - you can check for Egypt too.

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advic ... quirements
- notice the visa requirement
UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK Emergency Travel Documents (ETD) are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Turkey within the dates printed on the document. ETDs should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry into Turkey.
Have a nice trip.

The page link (above) covers all requirements (visas and passports) for Turkey & includes a link to Turkey authorities (embassy) for any questions about visas/travel.
