The ferry from Turkey takes you to North Cyprus, from where you can enter Cyprus semi-officially. But you must leave by the same route. So even if there was a ferry from Cyprus to Egypt (or anywhere in the Middle East), which there isn't, you would not be able to take it.

You options aside from container / RORO are the following:

Turkey to Lebanon by ferry, transit through Syria to Jordan, then either straight into Egypt if you are allowed to cross the border, or into Saudi then to Egypt.

Drive Turkey to Iraq to Jordan. You need to fly from Erbil to Baghdad in order to collect an arrival visa at the airport, then return to Erbil and ride on into Iraq proper with your visa.

A member of this forum mentioned that the Turkey to Saudi ferry has resumed operations after a fire a couple of years ago, but I am not sure if that has started yet or not.

The Middle East is not the easiest of regions to travel through, but it is possible. The FB Overlanding Middle East group is a good resource.

People will try to tell you ther are all sorts of ferries in the region, sadly these are almost all gone. Until 2020 Grimaldi ran a RORO + passenger service (so almost a ferry) from Italy to Israel, but that no longer takes passengers.

I spent 3.5 weeks touring southern Iraq (not Kurdistan) earlier in the year and thoroughly recommend it.
