The cocos or coconut tree grows in tropical regions which have both warm conditions and regular rainfall.
Egypt has the warmth, but rainfall is limited to one particular season of the year, which means that coconut palms do not grow there.
Other types of palm trees were native to ancient Egypt; there were the date palm, the dellach palm and the doum palm. The dellach is now extinct in Egypt; the doum was used mainly for its strong timber.

Why was wood so expensive in ancient Egypt?
because very few trees grew in Egypt so any wood had to be transported great distances.
What was the woodcutter's job in ancient Egypt?
Since ancient Egypt suffered from an acute shortage of trees producing wood suitable for building or construction, there were no woodcutters. Trees and timber were instead imported to Egypt from Lebanon, Syria and from Nubia and Kush to the south of Egypt - cedar of Lebanon is even mentioned in the Bible as a quality building wood. Egyptian palms and other types of tree produced very low-grade timber that might be used in peasant houses, but it was easily felled by the peasants themselves, not needing professional woodcutters.
