Hi @faustbrian, thanks for your PR! The site you linked to is not an official website, and I'm having trouble finding information about 7-digit postcodes. https://egyptpost.gov.eg/ar-eg/home/eservices/find-postal-code/ Do you have an official source of information? |

@BenMorel I don't really have any official sources. The closest would probably be https://www.upu.int/UPU/media/upu/PostalEntitiesFiles/addressingUnit/egyEn.pdf but that's not official from a government. We started to notice this because we use this package in a logistics product and customers recently started to use 7 digit postal codes for Egypt consignments instead of 5 digit postal codes, so currently we have a workaround that if validation fails for 5 digits we check for 7 digits and that works. All the third-party vendors we integrate also started to recognize 7 digit postal codes for Egypt. |

and add a link to the PDF above in the docblock as well? |
