Perhaps the point of this paranoid measure is not about finding one's own phone or oneself someplace, but tracking potential targets who have an iPhone. I guess the iPhone is bought only within Egypt's ruling class: politicians, rich people and some wannabes. If your car has a GPS, gets tracked and it's armored, then there isn't much of a problem. Plus, you can drive away from trouble, if you have the time and if you actually are in the car at that moment. But if you're walking with a very personal GPS in your pocket and your enemies find you, you can get shot in the head easily from a safe distance, without snipers investing tons of money.
